A single spark can light a prairie fire - May Day in the heartland

[Michael Costello]

I have been looking over the reports on May Day published today, and just like last year I see it is being celebrated all over the US, not just in San Francisco, but in Kentucky, Georgia, Arkansas, Arizona and so forth. It usually takes me a few days to find all the reports filed, I've seen May Day celebration reports from Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Utah and other places over the past three years. Stuff like this just isn't well-known, who would have known that in Louisville, Kentucky, dozens of people congregated to hear about the Haymarket martyrs and their fight for an eight hour day, and then marched off to "take back the streets" and had a confrontation with police who pepper sprayed them? Or that there are large May Day celebrations in Arizona (which seemed calm this year, although were more militant in previous years)?

Here is my web page in which has my collected links to May Day reports:
