"Once more we celebrate May Day, the international holiday of the working class! With heads erect, with spirits undaunted, and with hearts attuned to the future we hail our proletarian comrades of all lands and send our greetings to the sons and daughters of toil all around the world."

1922 May Day Salutation by Eugene V. Debs
