MINNEAPOLIS — The first marker to commemorate the 1934 Minneapolis Teamsters strikes, one of the great watershed moments in the history of the American labor movement, is being installed in downtown Minneapolis.
The marker will be unveiled on Saturday, July 18, in a ceremony beginning at 11 a.m. at 701 N. Third St., in the Warehouse District.

Keith Christensen, an award-winning professor of art and graphic design at St. Cloud State University, is the designer of the marker, to be erected at street level on the iconic 1913 Sherwin-Williams Paint Co. building. It was in front of this building on Bloody Friday that striker Henry Ness was shot and killed by Minneapolis police.
