Haymarket Monument

On Tuesday May 4, 1886, workers striking for an eight-hour day gathered at Haymarket Square in Chicago. A bomb went off, seven cops were killed and seven anarchists were sentenced to death. A combination of a partisan judge and a lack of credible evidence led to pardons for several of the anarchists by Illinois Governor John Altgeld on June 23, 1893.
