New Mother Jones marker dedicated at I-55 rest area

A variety of dignitaries on Monday dedicated a new historical marker for famed union activist Mother Jones and coal-miners' union movement at the southbound Interstate 55 Coalfield rest area south of Springfield, Illinois. In addition, Ireland's consul general to Chicago and the Midwest participated in a wreath-laying ceremony that day at the Mother Jones Monument , just off Route 66 in Union Miners Cemetery in Mount Olive, Illinois.
