a real #LaborDay march in #NYC on #MayDay of 1909

i think this is somewhere in the West Village area, close to the Meat Packing District. am going by that rounded corner, the cobblestones and trolley tracks. you could still see those tracks, back in the 1990s, if you walked just a block west from HB Studios.

a smart #anarchist shout out to Peter Kropotkin's "The Conquest Of #Bread": "Loaf of bread float carried in Socialist Parade, New York".

the man whose book, IT COULD HAPPEN HERE, should become part of the canon of American #literature taught in public schools everywhere, UPTON SINCLAIR.

"Author Upton Sinclair, in white suit with black arm band, picketing Rockefeller Building"

btw: no, the book is NOT part of the public school canon; unlike Ayn Rand's fascist bullshit
