Activists rally for May Day

Calling for more support for jobs, education and youth programs, and less for development and youth jails, demonstrators returned to Baltimore’s McKeldin Square yesterday for May Day.

Also known as International Workers’ Day –  celebrated by more than 80 countries around the world – May Day in Baltimore attracted dozens of groups and causes – higher education, jobs, justice, immigration reform, city recreation centers, workers’ rights, support for post offices and opposition  to privatization.

Baltimore photographer, author, videographer and journalist Bill Hughes captured the day in photos. Here are a couple from his set.
