MayDay 2005

Celebrate the Anarchist history of May Day and the 8 hour day fight. Remember Lucy and Albert and August and all the rest. If we understand where we have been we can understand where we are going!

REMEMBERING HAYMARKET: MAYDAY 2005

Sunday, May 1st, 3 pm at the Thomas Merton Center (5125 Penn ave).

Presentation and discussion on the events surrounding and involving the martyrdom of the Haymarket anarchists. Come to eat some vegan snacks and to listen to historical narratives and speeches about and by Lucy Parsons, Albert Parsons, August Spies, Sam Fielden, etc.

Come and learn about the struggle for the eight-hour day. Fall in love again with the radicals whose sacrifices are uncelebrated and suppressed by those who are still afraid of the ideas of those who were willing to fight and die for a freer society. Honor with us the history of resistance passed on to us by the Haymarket 7– not the history of oppression passed on to us by this capitalist, imperialist system.

Bring your sympathy, passion, and open minds. Come and remember how their sacrifice lives on in our resistance.

Sponsored by your friendly, neighborhood, Bloomfield Free State anarchists.
