You might know this piece of Louisville history as “Bloody Monday.” This is the day 22 (or so) people lost their lives on Election Day as ‘nativists’ tried to keep Catholics and ‘foreign-born’ people from voting. This episode will discuss the events that led up to election day, the events of the day, and the aftermath.
