Hellraisers Journal: In Celebration of May Day 1918: a Drawing by the Great Walter Crane and a Poem by Big Bill Haywood

Share

You, O, Men and Women and Children of Labor,
You can end forever the wrongs your class has endured,
You have but to think within yourselves,
You have but to act within your class,
You must organize as you work together.
Think, Organize, Act Together.
Industrial Freedom will come to all.
-Big Bill Haywood
