In the late 1800s workers won the right to an eight hour
work week. Since then leftist around the world have celebrated May
Day. While the political holiday started in Chicago Illinois, it soon
spread to the rest of the world. Now there are May Day celebrations all over
the world and they are all celebrated as differently as the factions and trends
that celebrate the day.
I am lucky enough that I can celebrate this holiday in
Wichita, Kansas this year. The Peace & Social Justice Center will
have an event on May 1, from 5 pm to 7:30 pm, at 1407 N. Topeka,
Wichita, KS.
The event will include a Potluck.
According to the Peace & Social Justice Center:
Join the celebration of May 1st International Workers' Day.
Bring a dish and bring your friends and compañeros! News and updates on
workers' struggles in our community and around the world. Come and celebrate
and show your solidarity! 316 263-5886 for more info.
