    The Preacher and the Slave as performed by Utah Phillips

    Written by Joe Hill

    Joe Hill was a labor activist and songwriter, active during the Progressive Era.

    He was executed in 1915 at the age of 36, after being convicted of murder in Salt Lake City, Utah. The subsequent appeals garnered international publicity, with many activists alleging that Hill was an innocent scapegoat.
