Description

On May 4th, 1886 in Chicago's Haymarket, a labor rally is interrupted first by a column of police officers, and then by a bomb from the crowd thrown into their ranks. This has major implications for the labor and social reform movement in the US. James Green, author of "Death in the Haymarket: A Story of Chicago, the First Labor Movement and the Bombing that Divided Gilded Age America", talks about the events leading up to the bombing and the aftermath. Become a Most Notorious patron at: www.patreon.com/mostnotoriousLearn more about your ad choices.
