Haymarket Square Riot Infirmary
| A photograph of a painting depicting the wounded being treated at Desplaines Street police station after the Haymarket Square riot. The riot started as a rally protesting the killing by police officers of two union member McCormick reaper factory workers during a confrontation between the union workers and their replacements the previous day. Later in the evening, police marched into the square and ordered the crowed to disperse. A riot erupted after someone threw a dynamite bomb that exploded, killing and wounding many police and civilians. |
