It was held in New York City. This parade served as a powerful demonstration of worker solidarity and a call for improved working conditions, particularly the establishment of an eight-hour workday.
The event resonated with the public, bringing workers’ issues to the forefront of national attention.
In response to the growing labour movement and its demands, President Grover Cleveland declared Labour Day a national holiday in 1894.
