Let’s understand International Workers Day 2021 in a way that no one ever explained. Every year on May 1st, individuals across the globe rampage to remember International Workers’ Day or May Day.
In dozens of countries, May Day is an official holiday, and for work rights campaigners, it is especially significant.
The day commemorates past work struggles against a host of workers’ rights violations, including extended workdays and weeks, poor conditions, and child labor.
What is International Workers Day?
The date for International Workers’ Day was picked to remember the Chicago work demonstration bombarding of May 4th, 1886, or else known as the Haymarket issue.
In 1886, a typical strike was held against the eight-hour workday, and following the shelling, police fought back by shooting the workers who left many harmed and dead.
In any case, in 1889, the first socialist and work party association Second International held a gathering in Paris on the anniversary of the Chicago protests, and the day proceeded to be perceived as a yearly occasion for the socialists.
It resulted in the May Day riots of 1984, which prompted the International Socialist Congress, Amsterdam, in 1904.
They were approaching ‘all Social Democratic Party organizations and worker’s guilds of all countries.
Los Angeles Riots of 1992, major outbreak of violence, looting, and arson in Los Angeles that began on April 29, 1992, in response to the acquittal of four white Los Angeles policemen on all but one charge (on which the jury was deadlocked) connected with the severe beating of an African American motorist in March 1991. As a result of several days of rioting, more than 50 people were killed, more than 2,300 were injured, and thousands were arrested. About 1,100 buildings were damaged, and total property damage was about $1 billion, which made the riots one of the most-devastating civil disruptions in American history.
Although many Angelenos in the late 20th century prided themselves on their city’s ethnic diversity, there was a strong feeling in Los Angeles’s minority communities that the city’s predominantly white police force practiced racial profiling and engaged in racist brutality against African Americans and Hispanics. These suspicions seemed to be confirmed by a videotape shot on March 3, 1991, by a man who watched police officers brutally beat Rodney King, an African American motorist who had been pulled over for speeding after an eight-mile chase. When the officers’ initial efforts to bring a noncompliant King to the ground failed, they clubbed him with their batons dozens of times. The videotape, which was broadcast across the United States, prompted a huge outpouring of protest.
These documents were drafted in the heat of dramatic, fast-moving events. They represented a monumental achievement to the nation’s Founders who believed their experiment in self-government held the promise of liberty for all mankind. The principles established in the Charters have bound the nation together through more than two centuries of growth and turmoil. American patriots of every generation have paid in blood to defend these principles.
The documents on display in this gallery chronicle the creation of the Charters and their impact on events in this country and around the world. They reveal the story of earlier generations of Americans who had both the vision to see a better world and the audacity to build it.
The Declaration of Independence expresses the ideals on which the United States was founded and the reasons for separation from Great Britain.
The Constitution defines the framework of the federal government of the United States. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the Constitution. It defines citizens’ and states’ rights in relation to the government.

To say that Duke Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974)
Stating that Mr Ellington had a very productive and illustrious career would be a major understatement.
As a composer, arranger, pianist and bandleader, he was a major force for nearly 50 years (1926-74), creating innovations in each area.
He did all that while constantly touring with his orchestra, which, despite major changes in the music world, never broke up during his lifetime.
