The Old Labor Hall's Primo Maggio celebration returns live Sunday, April 30 with a community dinner followed by historian Andrew Hoyt's presentation "Luigi Galleani & the Anarchists of Barre." The festivities begin at 5 p.m. with a social hour, followed at 6 by a traditional Italian dinner. Hoyt's presentation will begin at 7. Hoyt will explore the Italian anarchists' role in the larger social world of Vermont, including anarchist picnics, theater, and festivals in Barre. He'll also discuss why Luigi Galleani and the publishers of the infamous anarchist newspaper "Cronaca Sovversiva" (subversive chronicle) eventually left Barre and Vermont in 1912.
Tickets for the dinner and talk are $25. For reservations call or text (802) 505-0405. For more information: http://oldlaborhall.org/, email info@oldlaborhall.org. The Old Labor Hall also maintains a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/OldLaborHall.
