Remember Sandburg's poem "Chicago", what is still true about "this my city"?
"the gun man kills and goes free to kill again"
(remember Joseph gould, the homeless person shot in cold blood by Becker, who walked?)
Here where in 1886, where the "tar & feathering" of Haymarket participants took place, and May Day is celebrated world wide, in some places with great processions in the streets, as we had going a few years ago, it is once again barely celebrated.
Lets take this energy from the peace movement to reinvigortate "this bring back May Day to Chicago movement", and lets not quibble about whether Emma Goldman was an Anarchist or a "dirty commie", since after all there are anarcho-commies out there. It can at the same time be like an M19 #2, and do something a little different like March from the monument in the cemetery picking up marchers along the way, and go to haymarket place on Randolph or the other way around, of course Michigan Ave. would be nice.
