Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Back in print for the first time in decades. A classic in US labor history.
On May 1, 1886, Albert and Lucy Parsons led upwards of 80,000 striking workers and their supporters through the streets of Chicago. Across the country workers were advocating for the eight-hour day. On May 3, police killed two striking workers on the west side of Chicago. In response, a rally was called for May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago. There a bomb was thrown, eventually killing seven policeman and wounding dozens of others. Eight anarchists were accused: four were hanged, two had their sentences commuted, one served six years, and one died by suicide in his cell. Accused and convicted of conspiracy, the state of Illinois couldn't prove any of them threw the bomb, so they instead tried to kill the anarchist movement. This miscarriage of justice ignited labor movements across the United States and around the world. Collected here are the voices of the accused from their sentencing in the fall of 1886.
For decades after Albert was hanged, Lucy Parsons carried on her husband's legacy through writing, public speaking, and publishing The Famous Speeches of the Eight Chicago Anarchists. The chilling and defiant words of the accused—six of whom were not even at Haymarket Square the night of the bombing—are gripping still, these many years later.
"If you think that you can crush out these ideas that are gaining ground more and more every day, if you think you can crush them out by sending us to the gallows; if you would once more have people suffer the penalty of death because they have dared to tell the truth—and I defy you to show us where we have told a lie—I say, if death is the penalty for proclaiming the truth, then I will proudly and defiantly pay the costly price! Call your hangman!" —August Spies
"For such a government as this I can feel no respect, and will combat them, despite their power, despite their police, despite their spies. I hate and combat, not the individual capitalist, but the system that gives him those privileges. My greatest wish is that workingmen may recognize who are their friends and who are their enemies. As to my conviction, brought about as it was, through capitalistic influence, I have not one word to say." —George Engel
"I will ask you to hang me, too; for I think it is more honorable to die suddenly than to be killed by inches. I have a family and children; and if they know their father is dead, they will bury him. They can go to the grave, and kneel down by the side of it; but they can't go to the penitentiary and see their father, who was convicted for a crime that he hasn't had anything to do with. That is all I have got to say. Your honor, I am sorry I am not to be hung with the rest of the men." —Oscar Neebe
Speeches from August Spies, Michael Schwab, Oscar Neebe, Adolph Fischer, Louis Lingg, George Engel, Samuel Fielden, Albert Parsons are accompanied by a preface and introduction from Lucy Parsons, foreword by labor historian David R. Roediger, and a public speech from 1901 commemorating the Haymarket anarchists by poet and writer Voltairine de Cleyre.
Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
