Haymarket Riot [View all]

It's like the Alamo of labor struggles.

https://www.britannica.com/event/Haymarket-Riot

"Haymarket Riot, also called Haymarket Affair or Haymarket Massacre, violent confrontation between police and labour protesters in Chicago on May 4, 1886, that became a symbol of the international struggle for workers’ rights. It has been associated with May Day (May 1) since its designation as International Workers’ Day by the Second International in 1889."
