The Green and Red Roots of May Day
May 7, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Hugh Taft-Morales
Leader, Philadelphia Ethical Society
May Day brings to mind both maypole dancers and Soviet-era military parades. Most who celebrate May 1 rejoice in nature and the imminence of summer. But others associate the day with the movement for economic justice by socialist and labor organizations. Hugh examines the holiday’s dual origins. What lessons for Ethical Culture can we draw from its deep pagan roots and more recent purpose to honor workers? How can we summon the energy to support both the environment and labor?
