May Day, or International Workers’ Day, is celebrated by workers all around the world. It originated in the late 19th century to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket Affair in Chicago, where a labour demonstration calling for the eight-hour work day was bombed. Long live international working-class solidarity!
Music: The International, Into the Streets May First Due to this year’s unusual circumstances, there are probably no May Day street marches anywhere in the world. Maybe take this as an opportunity to read up on your country’s labour history.
