21. Solidarity! And a little info on May Day vs Labor Day

I think it is very important to understand the roots of this holiday, and how it has ultimately helped us collectively forget labor history in our country. May Day began here and has pretty much been forgotten while it continues to be a very important day in the rest of the world. Many argue it was deliberately co-opted and Labor Day in September was offered instead to draw attention away from the radicalism of May Day. In the last few years some activist workers groups have begun to rekindle the May Day spirit. As the article at the link says, there is surely room for 2 real workers rights holidays a year in this country, and I would say there is not only room, but a real need for it as well.

Please don't disregard this due to the source - the info is accurate whether or not one agrees with the ideology:
