Eugene V. Debs
Eugene V. Debs was an American socialist leader, labor organizer, and one of the most prominent figures in early 20th-century American labor movements. Known for his strong advocacy for workers' rights, Debs played a pivotal role in founding the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and led multiple major strikes, including the Pullman Strike of 1894. As a five-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, Debs's most famous run was in 1920, when he campaigned from prison after being convicted for opposing U.S. involvement in World War I. His writings, such as "Walls and Bars," reflect his beliefs in social equality and justice, making him a celebrated and controversial figure in American history.
