"On May 1, 1886, Albert and Lucy Parsons led 80,000 people down Michigan Avenue, in what is regarded as the first-ever May Day Parade, in support of the eight-hour work day."

Lucy Parsons was a Black anarchist and she continued her May Day activism into her 90s. Her legacy is complex but that doesn't make it any less powerful. Know her name.
