I am french and may first is a public holiday, but I'm ashamed that I didn't know from where it came.. Thanks for the write up!
De rien. I knew the Haymarket riots were connected to May Day, but I didn't know the full history until I read a bit more. Apparently a distant relative of mine was one of the anarchists who were blamed for throwing a bomb at the police.
