The Police Monument is no longer there. It was defaced so many times (even blown up at one point) that it was moved inside the walls of the Chicago Police academy.
This really is the Tiananmen square of American history. Never mentioned in school history or spoken of until the most recent rise of unionization. Also astonished this channel isnt massive for for the quality of the content.
I never made that connection, Brady. Great point. And I appreciate the compliment. I hope it does grow to become massive one day! Just keeping busy until then :) Cheers!
@@jessecosme14 You're right. Thank you for that. I did have that on my outline but with all such project many cuts are needed. That didnt make it. But, I appreciate that feedback. Mahalo.
This is when workers actually had a backbone back then. Now we're actually slowly losing every one of those rights and we have nobody to blame but ourselves for letting it happen. Soon, you'll keep working until you literally die while your owner lays on their bed of money while watching you struggle. And LOOK! Child labor is back! Why the hell aren't we trying to stop this?
This was great thank you. I would like to add that this is so tied into the mass incarceration problem that we have. Furthermore, the U.S. and Canada have tried to white wash and eliminate this part of "labor day" Mayday is an important day and should be celebrated much more then labor day.
Great stuff. I used it this morning in my US History class at Broward College.
Glad to hear, Sean. Thanks!

Chicago has the nicest people I swear
@@TonyMichaels166 Ya they do. The police are kinda dangerous though.
Believe The Weather Underground got it twice
I wish this was more readily taught in school

to be fair, i did learn about this in school. probably 2005. proud anarchist still.
Would have been helpful to also mention that the usa government has tried to erase May Day as a holiday that is celebrated nationwide.
Theres a lot I could have mentioned.
@@historyforhumans905 sure and I’m providing feedback. Constructive criticism from the perspective of a viewer.

The police serve capital, never forget
They serve whoever controls the government. And that is Capital in a western democratic society.

Thank you for an awesome video on a very important chapter in our history that’s not talked about.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
Because anarchists played a big role in this.
The state will never mention anarchists. They are mortal enemys
Kudos.....this is an outstanding job of telling this history lesson
Thanks! Im super glad you liked it!
Thank you, man. This helped me understand this event better for my history essay, kudos!
Glad it helped! G'luck on the essay!

Thanks! Appreciate it. :)
Great work, man. Thanks for all the information and the clarity.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Yeah and they're finding ways to take this stuff back from us again now
Thats why history is important. To remember what it took to get our rights, what it was like before, and why workers' rights matter. :)
Ok now tell me what the rest of the Oz characters represent
The scarecrow must've represented uneducated farmers, but I've no idea what the cowardly lion was meant to portray.
Nice and interesting an eyeopener event !
Yes it was! Thanks!
Thank you
You're welcome!
This is great!
Thanks! Appreciate that :)
Watched this in class today
Hope you enjoyed it & learned a bunch. :)
Howard Zinn
brought me here
He'll do that. :)
Overall this was good and informative but the Haymarket Riot occurred on May 1st not May 4th
Check this part of the video 3:13 The actual riot took place on May 4th, but it started from the May 1st protests.
I go over that in the video.
The Haymarket Affair took place on May 4th.
