May 1st is May Day, and organizers and activists across the United States are planning celebrations to mark the occasion. Now we look at a book by historian Peter Linebaugh entitled “The Incomplete, True, Authentic, and Wonderful History of May Day.” Linebaugh is the author of many books, including “The Many-Headed Hydra” and “The Magna Carta Manifesto.” Historian Robin D. G. Kelley has said of Linebaugh: “There is not a more important historian living today. Period.”
