Mother Jones Lives

Mother Jones, her times, and her legacy Born in Cork, Ireland in 1837, Mother Jones fought for justice for working people until her death in 1930.

MotherJonesMuseum.org is dedicated not only to the history of Mother Jones but to the ordinary people and multiple sites of struggles for justice that she was associated with. In 1907 she was labelled the "most well-known agitator in the world." She is buried in Union Miners Cemetery in Mt. Olive, Illinois, in honor of the ordinary workers who built the labor movement and fought for labor rights.
