National Guard Coal miners Mining industry Miners African Americans Description An account of the resource In September 1898 representatives of the United Mine Workers of America stopped a railroad car in Virden, Illinois, filled with potential African American strikebreakers. The train continued on to Springfield after the union members informed them of the strike between the members and the Chicago-Virden Coal Company. On October 12, 1898, a second train of African American strikebreakers from Birmingham, Alabama, and security guards arrived in Virden. The security guards opened fire when striking miners attempted to surround the train at the entrance to the mining facility. The train departed Virden after twenty minutes of gunfire and headed for Springfield. By the end of the conflict four security guards and seven striking miners were killed and 30 people were wounded. The mine owners accepted unionization at the mine in November 1898 and the mine remained segregated for many years after. Similar conflicts occurred in Pana on April 10, 1899, Lauder on June 6, 1899, and Carterville on September 17, 1899. Still Image A static visual representation.

Host Ralph Bellamy and talented young people of Illinois team up for a musical spotlight on our state.

Illinois Bell Telephone is proud to present this color television special produced by WBKB-TV, Chicago. Filmed at 11 locations around our state, this second Illinois Sings focuses on the past, present and promise of our state. Ralph Bellamy, distinguished for his stage, screen, television and radio performances, began his acting career with a young group that played in Chicago-area schools, churches, theatres, tents and any other place which would hold an audience. The title song, composed for the show by WBKB-TV's Frank McNulty, rings with pride in our state. You'll find your copy of "Illinois Sings" at the center of this booklet.

Illinois. We've got corn, soybeans, livestock, and fertile land--We've got railroads, airlines, waterways at our command; So, if ever you're in doubt what we've got to sing about, [shouted]Take a look! at Illinois and see. Copyright 1967 by Frank McNulty <hr /> Chorus Illinois sings! Illinois sings! From the cities, the busy highways, to the country, the country by-ways, You'll hear a voice that rings out loud and clear, Illinois is a state with a promise, Where good and plenty abound; You can bet that we're proud of, The state we belong to, sing a song to: Illinois Sings! Illinois Sings! To the nation, to all creation, we proudly sing its praises. Let's make those rafters ring lift up your head and sing out! Illinois, let's hear those voices ring out! Illinois, come on and sing, Illinois Sings! <hr /> The 150 voices of the Plainfield High School Grand Choir (above) ring with "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" as Illinois Sings takes you to Lincoln's tomb in Springfield. Throughout its 150-year history, Illinois has attracted rugged pioneers. Recreating a scene of early settler days are Park Ridge's Len Dressler and Mrs. John Carroll of Springfield, singing the century-old folk song, "El-A-Noy." Illinois Sings also travels to the sylvan beauty of Morton Arboretum to salute the strong immigrants who brought their proud cultures here. Gay old-world costumes contrast the Arboretum greens as the Guilford High School Swedish Folk Dancers from Rockford and Chicago ethnic groups with German, Polish and Irish cultures perform national dances. Judy Birr, Chicago's Luther High School North, sings "Wiegenlied" (Brahm's Lullaby) in German. <hr /> Chicago was "open house to the world" during the 1893 Columbian Exposition--today landmarked by the Museum of Science and Industry, the remaining building from the fair and "stage set" for (left) the Clef Dwellers of Quincy High School's "Gay '90s Medley." The showboat also had its day in Illinois. Step aboard as the Louisiana Brass--a six-man Dixieland band from New Trier High School, Winnetka (right)--play "That's A Plenty." Illinois' role in wars is a proud part of its history. The Civil War's "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" is played smartly by the 88-student Richwoods High School Band of Peoria. And you've never heard "Anchors Aweigh" carried off better than the version by the Blue-jacket Choir of Great Lakes (left). <hr /> Today in Illinois is as exciting as its history. Pretty Lucie Cook (above) of Table Grove's V.I.T. Community High School sings "A Wonderful Day Like Today" as she enjoys the rides at Western Illinois County Fairgrounds in Griggsville. Swinging along the girders of a high rise, Robert Aseltine, Glenbard East High School of Lombard, sings "Before The Parade Passes By." Films of both the first and second Illinois Sings programs will be loaned without charge to clubs, church, civic and school groups soon after the second program is telecast. A third film capturing the qualities of our state--"The Promise"--is also free to groups who want to show it. Please contact your Illinois Bell Telephone business office to arrange bookings.
