SATURDAY, APRIL 30

LET THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE BE HEARD!
125th Anniversary Full-Scale Haymarket Reenactment
@ Haymarket, Randolph St (Between Des Plaines and Halsted )
2pm - 4pm +
Admission: Free
Historical reenactments are usually reserved for Civil War battles. In our contemporary moment, we need to remember other strugges, such as the fight for a safe, fair, and just workplace. We will reenact the Haymarket tragedy on the actual site where the anarchists spoke and where the bomb was thrown, in the center of the city, with props, costumes, and music by Jon Langford and Environmental Encroachment. We will have 180 volunteers from 30 arts, educational, and social justice organizations playing Chicago police officers. We will remember the past but also celebrate work done in the present. And then we'll have a beer at Zeph's Hall. All are welcome to take part in this important anniversary of an event of local, national, and international significance.
