Often referred to as “May Day,” or “International Workers’ Day,”

[Flabbergasted]

May 1 is considered Labor Day in most countries other than the United States. On May 1,1884, the demand for an eight-hour workday began, and two years later on the date, a general strike occurred, which led to the initiation of the eight-hour workday for American workers. On May 1, 1894 Coxey’s Army, made up of unemployed workers, participated in the first significant American protest march in Washington, D.C

1. Most Americans are ignorant of the importance of May 1

It's the day of the have-nots demanding some damned say in the matter of how Life is conducted.

2. Yes, and if you travel in any downtown in USA

You should be prepared this year. The more I learn the more I want to learn.

I wish the rest of this country would get as involved as the May Day Events rallies, which are intending to shut down cities across the country.
