The borough of Homestead, Penn.,* was once the site of a bloody battle between striking steelworkers and an army of Carnegie Steel's Pinkertons, a milestone in labor history that culminated with an ungodly blaze as the pro-management's barges were burned throughout the night.

On April 28, Homestead will once again play host to a fiery spectacle – although with this one, children are welcome to attend.
