The Haymarket Martyrs' Monument in Forest Park, IL, commemorates the events surrounding the May 1886 demonstrations for an eight-hour workday in Chicago, which escalated into violence. The monument serves as a poignant reminder of the struggle for workers' rights and the sacrifices made by activists during this pivotal moment in labor history.

On May 3rd, a confrontation between police and workers at the McCormick Reaper plant led to tragic consequences, culminating in a bomb explosion during a peaceful rally the following night. The monument honors those who lost their lives and symbolizes the enduring fight for social justice and labor reforms.
