Haymarket affair

The Chicago Historical Society has created a digital collection of Haymarket Affair primary sources. Many of these historical documents capture the immediate news after the bombing or depicted a specific viewpoint. It is broken into seven subgroups: The Trial Documents, Published Materials, Additional Manuscripts, Artifacts, Broadsides, Photographs & Prints, and Wood Engravings. The trial documents are by far the most interesting primary source. They are broken down into five subgroups of their own: Outline of Proceedings, Examination of Jurors – Selection, Witness Testimony, Exhibits and Proceedings at the Illinois Supreme Court. An interesting document in the first subgroup is the Petition for Change of Venue. It stresses that the defendants…

international May Day, a holiday celebrating the lives lost in the labor movement. Sadly, President Cleveland though celebrating May 1 would cause everyone to remember the riots and the communist factor, so he moved it to September, our current labor day (Steven 1). It’s sad that there’s always that underlying fear of revolt, even though everywhere else in the world celebrates May 1 as May Day.

The working classes simply seek to improve their conditions. This is a natural feeling.” Albert Parsons couldn’t have done this crime because he is a father and husband. If he is…

The patterns of media manipulation and police repression which were established during Haymarket and Berkman’s assassination attempt were reinstituted in full force after the death of President McKinley. Media outlets quickly accepted that Czologsz was indeed an anarchist despite only having attended a few of Goldman’s speeches and being identified as a possible police informant by anarchist leaders. In absence of good journalism, newspapers capitalized on public fears and reverted to their…

to blame for the death of police officials then the leaders of union and reformer groups. I feel as if the state felt that the leaders should take the responsibility of the actions of someone else since they are the main reason for the organization of the protest. It seems as if this judgement was reflected on the fact that the eight were on trial for their political beliefs and not necessarily on their actions on the evening of the Haymarket Massacre.
