and it's great to be back in chicago. i think most people know lucy parsons as the wife and then the widow of albert parsons who was one of the haymarket martyrs. was convicted unjustly and executed in november of 1887 for his alleged role in the haymarket bombing in may of 1886. that was an incident where the anarchists of chicago called a rally to protest the killing of workers by police a couple days before. the crowd gathered in haymarket square. someone threw a bomb just as a group of 80 police entered the square. seven police were killed, four others killed, countless injured. and the identity of the bomb thrower is still unknown. and yet the authorities were very quick to round up what they certainly considered the usual suspects, albert par softens among them. so -- parsons among them. so albert parsons is well known because of the haymarket trial, his subsequent execution with three of his comrades. and lucy, i think, for many years has been known as his wife and then his widow. most people don't realize that she

i asked him why the students had chosen chicago to begin theircampaign.eputation for gun violence in two parts of the city, the south side and the west side. so the students made a connection with a lot of the students on both those sides of the city to talk about shared trauma with gun violence. isn't chicago also one of those places that opponents of gun control laws say already has strict gun control, yet the shootings still keep continuing? that's right. there are many different factors for that. one fact that was discussed today among students and is often talked about with law enforcement here is guns coming over from the indiana border. so purchases that are made right across the border are brought in, sold on the street, and so essentially bypassing state, and local laws. you had a chance to speak to the students. what did they tell you? it was really incredible. the students from florida were really spending a lot of time with the students from chicago. what they talked about was what they had in common. these are two communities which at first g

the students from florida were really spending a lot of time with the students from chicago. these are two communities which at first glance would seem to have nothing in common. but actually, they sort of talked about their shared experiences dealing with gun violence. the chicago students talking about how it is something that is sort of an everyday occurence here. it is something that is happening on the street. the students in florida are talking about something happening in their school. so different circumstances, but they are the same age, they are talking about the same traumatic feelings and tensions that they feel when just wanting to go to class. when you say that at first glance it appears they have nothing in common, that is because the florida students are largely from affluent backgrounds, and in chicago, the south side is much poorer, and there are those stereotypes. from here across the pond it seems as though this movement by the parkland students is different from any other gun control advocacy movement we have seen in the past. would that be correct? hard

so they came down from chicago to resurrection city. one of the things that marc morreale was pointing out, i want to add two things. a lot of demands were made from the poor people's campaign. it is important to remember some of them because they are relevant to 2018. this is 1968. and one of those demands was $35 in 1968 -- dollars -- to end poverty in america every year. they also were demanding half a million new houses a year to be built in america so that every slum was torn down. in those days, we used the word slum. and so until every slum was gone, a half-million houses a year would have to be built. those are some of the demands. the land to man's marc talked about referred to appalachia, seven farmers in mississippi, alabama, and georgia, and chicago farmers in the southwest united states demanding land. for themselves, land that was stolen. so those were all really important. so we had this encampment there. peggy terry was there, youngblood was there, people came up from chicago. i was already living in d.c. i was at the ti
