More about Mayday – Celebrate Peoples´ History

(The drawing on this was made by artist and political activist Eric Drooker in 1993)

The poster says the following:

May Day is International Workers´Day, a time of celebration and opposition throughout the world, except in the United States where it began. May Day commemorates the May 1st, 1886 nationwide protest for the eight hour day and the following “Haymarket Affair,” a pivotal event in the history of workers´and anarchist movements in which four labor organizers were hanged by the State in Chicago. May Day is also the ancient celebration of Spring and rebirth- the traditional time for planting new seeds in old ground.
