Winnipeg, May 12, 2019: One century on, the Winnipeg General Strike remains one of the most significant events in Canadian history. A new book, 1919: A Graphic History of the Winnipeg General Strike, marks the centenary of this epic struggle.

1919 was co-created by the Graphic History Collective, a group of activists, artists, writers, and researchers from across Canada, and David Lester, an artist, writer, illustrator, musician and author of the acclaimed graphic novel The Listener.

The book was introduced to a Winnipeg audience by Collective members Julia Smith and Sean Carlton and David Lester.
