What does May Day mean for you?
[quote]Background to May Day: In 1884, unions declared that eight hours would constitute a legal day’s work from and after May 1, 1886. When workers went on strike at a factory in Chicago on May 3, 1886, police fired into the peacefully assembled crowd, killing four and wounding many others. The workers movement called for a mass rally the next day in Haymarket Square to protest this brutality. The rally proceeded peacefully until the end when 180 police officers entered the square and ordered the crowd to disperse. At that point, someone threw a bomb, killing one police officer and wounding 70 others. The police responded by firing into the crowd, killing one and injuring many others.
Eight of the city’s most active unionists were charged with conspiracy to commit murder even though only one even present at the meeting was on the speakers’ platform. All eight were found guilty and sentenced to death, despite a lack of evidence connecting them to the person who threw the bomb. Four were hanged on November 11, 1887, Louis Lingg committed suicide in prison, and the remaining three were finally pardoned in 1893. Lucy Parsons, the widow of Albert Parsons, traveled the world urging workers to celebrate May Day and to remember the events of Haymarket and the subsequent government-sponsored murder of those fighting for the rights of all workers.
Over time, May Day grew to become an important day for organising and unifying the international struggle of workers and their allies. [/quote]

that is lame. So many angles as to why mayday is not celelbrated here in the states as it is elsewhere in the world. Also a lot of narrow minded people. Mayday is important to me for a handful of reasons, most importantly it is my parents anniversary.

i didn't vote either way... i don't like downvotes, but i've seen you giv'em
you asked a question bout what may day means to peeps, then you pasted a piece that seemed like that is what may day is to you. the piece you pasted tells about the cops being the bad guys AFTER the workers killed a cop and wounded 70 other cops.
that's what i take from it, but i'm back on my oxy after a self imposed month off
what kinda reaction would you expect from "this" crowd?

I give them. But not willy-nilly. If you raise a topic that doesn't presuppose an answer ('Obama hates young kids?'), you provide some info, and you ask for people's point of view, and it's incredibly topical, then that's the definition of what you are meant to do on a message board. Otherwise no one would ever start any topics. How is outlining historical fact what it means to me? It's how May Day came to be commemorated in this country! Kind of relevant, no? And would you prefer that I take out the killing of the cops? presumably we're meant to say facts regardless of convenience?







Happy May Day!
