Bomb Explodes at Haymarket Square Rally
| A photograph of a painting depicting the bomb exploding at police as they approach the wagon to tell the crowd to disperse from Haymarket Square. Shrapnel can be seen flying through the air as police are hit and the crowd runs. The rally gathered thousands protesting the killing by police officers of two union member McCormick reaper factory workers during a confrontation between the union workers and their replacements the previous day. A riot erupted after the bomb explosion. |
