Birth of a New Power Organises for 1892 Presidential Fight
The National Union conference at Music Hall gathers about 1,400 delegates from diverse reform groups including the Farmers Alliance and labor organizations. Leaders from multiple states chair sessions, pledge to form a People’s Party, and adopt a platform calling for currency reform, land laws, eight-hour workdays, and universal suffrage as the movement shifts toward a third-party challenge in 1892. Delegates witness reconciliations between Northern and Southern veterans and vow to dethrone money power.
