Answer
The Haymarket Riot of 1886 was a labor unrest event that occurred in Chicago, Illinois. It was a protest by workers demanding an eight-hour workday. On May 4, 1886, a bomb was thrown at police officers during a rally in Haymarket Square, killing one officer and injuring several others. The police responded by firing into the crowd, killing and injuring many people. The incident led to the arrest and trial of several labor leaders, who were accused of inciting violence. The Haymarket Riot became a symbol of the struggle for workers' rights and the fight against police brutality.
