From The
Idiot Factor:
We
had a small but enthusiastic gathering for May Day 2016. I gave a history of
May Day, with the fight for an eight hour work week, in 1886. The whole world
was supporting that effort. There was also the Haymarket affair, with a
riot and bombing, in which four people were sentenced to death for giving
speeches during the bombing.
Janice
Bradley pointed out this it was struggles like this where Americans actually
fight for our freedom.
"When
the military says they are fighting for our freedom that is the biggest
crock," she said.
Members
of the group recalled a big May Day celebration with Mexican
Americans, focusing on immigrant reforms, a few years ago, where the
numbers were huge.
Out
May Day event was held at the Peace and Social Justice center in Wichita
