Daily Kos: May 5th, 1886 - Rounding up the Haymarket martyrs: "Parsons believed that the voice of the people was more powerful than the voice of the corrupt establishment. He feared not because he was sure that there would be many more leaders to take his place.
He was wrong.
The execution of the Haymarket martyrs effectively stalled the American labor movement for decades.
Moreover, their memories were erased from the history books. Parsons et al are barely footnotes in American history."
I didn't do any May Day blogging this year,
but this looks like a good series on DailyKos...
so go edumacate yrself already!
