The Haymarket Riot of 1886 was a pivotal event in labor history, where a peaceful rally in Chicago advocating for workers' rights turned violent after a bomb was thrown, resulting in the deaths of police officers and civilians. This incident sparked widespread controversy and led to a crackdown on labor movements, significantly impacting the push for an eight-hour workday. The riot is often remembered as a symbol of the struggle for workers' rights and the broader labor movement in the United States.
