Hi, I'm Shannon, the podcast producer here at C-SPAN, and this week on the Lectures and History podcast, University of Montana history professor, Lee Fredrickson, discusses the 1909 labor protests in Missoula, Montana.

These sparked a high-profile fight over free speech and police violence.

Stay tuned, class starts right after this.

This is Rachel from C-SPAN's podcast team.

And before we get to this week's episode, I'd like to introduce you to my colleague, Jen.
