The Passaic County Historical Society commemorated the centennial of the 1913 Paterson Silk Strike—a work stoppage by silk mill workers in Paterson, NJ—with an exhibit in 2013. Ethnicity, education, gender, and occupation data collected by the census demonstrated how a diverse group of workers banded together to protest working conditions during a 6-month strike that crippled the city.
