DESCRIPTION:Lucy Parsons: Anarchist - A reading of a play, written and directed by 
 Howard Pflanzer\n Labor Troubadour Anne Feeney Sings Out on Woody 
 Guthrie’s Birthday\nHear a reading of Howard Pflanzer’s “Lucy 
 Parsons”. Lucy Parsons was a radical Black labor activist and anarchist. 
 She was born a slave near Waco, Texas and married Albert R. Parsons who had 
 become a radical white Republican after serving first as a Confederate 
 soldier. They moved to Chicago in 1873 and became labor organizers. In a 
 labor rally for the 8-hour day, a bomb exploded and her husband along with 
 eight other men were framed and charged with being responsible for the 
 bomb. This became known as the Haymarket Square bombing and is now 
 commemorated all over the world as May Day. She began a national speaking 
 tour to raise money and support for her husband and the other defendants. 
 Her struggle and life is a very important part of American history. The 
 playwright Howard Pflanzer shows the struggles and realities of her 
 life.\n\nThis year is the 100th anniversary of Woody Guthrie, and Anne 
 Feeney, former president of the Pittsburgh Musicians Union and a labor 
 troubadour singing and standing up for working people in the US and around 
 the world, will perform Guthrie’s songs.\nhttp://www.annefeeney.com\nSee
