The Strike at School Remembrances of Hinman’s Peoria 1853
A nostalgic vignette recalls a 1853 school strike at Hinman’s Peoria, led by boys including Bill Smith and Bob Grege. The narrator recounts being asked to speak, failing, delivering a sobbing song and dance, and the stern but theatrical punishment by Hinman as the class protests with chants and a public display of discipline.
