Union Square

I suspect that there are many Union Squares, just as there
are many Union Stations in the United States....However,
the best Union Square (and park) is in New York City.....

At the juncture of Broadway, Park Avenue South (olde
Fourth Avenue) and 14th Street is Union Square and its
little park.....And as the history of NYC has shown, a nice
place to hold a 'protest rally'.....

When I grew up in the late 40s and early 50s, Union Square
was the place workers would rally against their working
conditions and hand out copies of the Daily Worker, a
communist publication......

Tomorrow on May First, Union Square will once again
become the site of yet another rally.......It is the site, in
New York City, of the immigration 'awareness day' get
together......

I wonder if they will hand out copies of the Daily Worker
which are printed in Spanish?.......Pumps
