 Labor Day, on May First is an American Holiday so feared by corporate
interests, they have suppressed it in it's home country: the United States of America.
Today, May First is celebrated throughout the world as Labor Day -- but not
in the here. The first week of may in 1886 marked a turning point in the
struggle for Justice in this country. |

 The historic and nationalist sentiment behind the date of September 23 in Puerto Rico has been recharged since the killing of Filiberto Ojeda Ríos on that same date in 2005.

 When we
view history from this broader perspective, the significance of Rosa
Parks can truly be appreciated, for she was the embodiment of all the

 "You needed help? Well, you'd call out those words: '¡Batíbiri,
batíbiri!,' and someone else would call out your name. Right there,
right away, we knew each other. You knew you weren't alone. It was
something we used to defend ourselves. I didn't have to know you. We
didn't have to know each other."
