Rioters Stoning a Trolley Car in Philadelphia
EDITORS COMMENTS
Philadelphia's streets erupted into chaos on May 31st, 1910 as rioters clashed with authorities during the General Strike of that year. This striking photograph captures the intensity and fury of the moment when protesters turned their anger towards a trolley car, pelting it with stones and debris.
Taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news service in black and white, this powerful image conveys the sense of urgency and desperation as men from all walks of life came together to express their discontent. The elevated view provides an unobstructed glimpse into the heart of the conflict, highlighting the sheer scale and ferocity of the mob.
As tensions mounted on Philadelphia's streets, workers' rights were at stake amidst a backdrop of industrial action and class struggle. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the tumultuous times that shaped American history during this pivotal era in 1910s America.
