May Day is celebrated by DSA, here in Wichita

 By Steve Otto

Today members of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) had a barbeque and get together to honor the First of May, International Workers Day (for more information on May 1 and its significance, see The Brief Origins of May Day—From IWW), here in Wichita Kansas.

The event was held at Chisholm Creek Park. While most May Day celebrations include parades or protests, it is perfectly acceptable to have some kind of memorial event to celebrate this important day. There was plenty of political discussions about the future of socialism in the US.
