East Boston was one of the central points for those who rallied Tuesday for immigrant rights. I saw quite a few people in Eastie's Central Square after 5 p.m.Of course, May 1 is chosen because it is celebrated around the world as May Day, a day commemorating workers, labor unions and their rights. This tradition started to mark the anniversary of the Haymarket uprising in Chicago in 1886, which led to the death of a number of workers and police officers.
