Original Title: TIL about the Centralia “Tragedy” in 1919, when members of the American Legion stormed the local International Workers of the World Hall, resulting in multiple deaths. 7 members of the I.W.W. were later convicted of murder, and one (also a veteran) was lynched. No Legionnaire was prosecuted.
