First of May was chosen to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago.  

On May 1st hundreds of thousands of workers across the United States went on strike demanding better working conditions and shorter work week hours.   

On May 4th an unidentified person threw a bomb in the crowd and police responded by firing on the  workers.

WORDS
to commemorate: to remember officially and give respect to. 
to demand: to ask for.

Basically, a cup of black tea (Golden Nepal or Assam) would be appreciated since I do not drink coffee.
