The origins of International Labour Day can be traced back to the late 19th-century labour movement in the United States. The specific date of May 1st was chosen to commemorate a nationwide strike for an eight-hour workday that commenced on that day in 1886. This pivotal event, however, culminated in the Haymarket Affair in Chicago, a regrettable incident where a labour protest escalated into violence.

The amendment will go to the House Finance Committee in the coming weeks; that committee has until May 16 to vote on whether to adopt the amendment and recommend the bill to the full House. Support for food-insecure families should come from donations, organizations, and church groups, he argued. His lasting legacy is this somatically saturated work, one in which readers cannot escape the mind and body of the narrator. Bodies are broken, beaten, spat on, penetrated; they bleed, leak, and vomit over and over again, condemned to the wasting-time of the post/colony.

The Rose Garden Tea Room has served many uses since architect Myron Hunt built it on Henry E. Huntington’s 120-acre San Marino estate in 1911.

It wasn’t until the 1980s that English afternoon tea was served on the premises. The tradition continued in the years that followed, initiating generations of Angelenos to the joyful midday ritual.
