So this was an email on a listserv and I figured it could be a useful resource here. A little late to post it but perhaps it could be of interest for some, especially since someone had taken the time to compile this (not myself):
Here’s May Day coverage that was found in the newspapers and by rummaging online, it’s New York-centric and only a slice of what is out there.
Some say there was a media blackout…
Glad to finally hit the send key on this never-ending project!
