Paula Panzarella Photo Paula Panzarella sent in this write-up and these photos from an annual event she helped organize on the Green.

May 1 in New Haven was a great day of international solidarity. The event, on the Green, was a bold proclamation of peace and showed an unyielding determination for justice.

Amid a march to support workers’ rights, there were fun activities, from the traditional maypole (pictured at the top of the story) to hula-hooping and juggling.

 

Students from Katherine Brennan and Worthington Hooker schools came together in the “Family Work History Project” with musician Mike Kachuba.

Jugglers Jeff Spalter (left) and the Amazing Andy (right) with cellist Shula Weinstein.

Others came together to form a human peace sign.

The May Day Celebration Committee thanks the International Association of New Haven for its grant to help fund this year’s activities.
