1911 Transport Strike

[Spike]

Anyone know if anything is being done anywhere to remember this event 100 years ago?

August 1911 saw severe violence in Liverpool during the strike. It should be remembered.

According to that link there's a march tomorrow starting at 1.00pm and a rally in town - St. George's plateau I'd guess.
