A Blue-Collar Man

Somewhere around the 1890s, the state of Nevada created a magnificent political tool, intended to aid the states hard-working people earn their share and be acknowledged for their efforts. This tool was called The Populist Party or The Peoples Party. This party was formed out of necessity to protect Nevada's miner rights and catered to the common worker in the society.

The Populist Party had measurable influence in representing the common worker. This was a tremendous beginning for recognizing the blue-collar men and women and addressing their issues.
