May Day once more witnessed the traditional rallies held in cities around the world to celebrate the international labour movement. These events, designed to evoke the spirit of workers' rights, are historically rooted in commemorations to mark the Haymarket massacre in Chicago, which in 1886 saw police kill demonstrators pressing for an eight hour working day. To mark the occasion, Highly Questionable is drawing on the association between organised labour and the colour red as the inspiration for the theme of today's quiz. Interesting as the Olympic stories recently featured on the blog are, we're taking a break from them to return to our five question themed quiz format.
