ATTENTION ALL Working Men & Women!!!
MASS-MOVEMENT
FOR A
LUCY PARSONS PARK
There are dark forces within this city
working assiduously against naming a park
for her, and affording her recognition
as a voice of dissent against injustice!!!
VICTORY!!!
Thanks to the Chicago Park District
"The park will, in its own small way, restore her role in history in the city where she helped launch the modern labor movement."

The property is currently a parking lot at 4712 W. Belmont Ave
