This
detail is from a mural showing America and Sweden.
This part shows the procession of Joe Hill (1879-1915),
Swedish-born songwriter for Wobblies (International
Workers of the World), judicially murdered; behind
him a banner reads "Hay una fuerza que a la tierra
conmueve !Solidaridad!" (There is a force that
moves the earth, Solidarity!) To the left you can
see the slave ships, one with the three crowns of
the Swedisth monarcy and interlaced G's, to refer
to King Gustav III (reigned 1771-92): the other with
black slave emblem refer to Sir John Hawkins, English
naval commandeer (1532-1595).
Signed, lower right with brigade emblem and "Andeers Svensson,
G[oran] Willdren, Olle Johansson, Rune Andersson."
