Day 23
September 3rd 2012: Today is "Labor Day".
All over the world, we celebratethe 1st of May in memory of the "martyrs of Chicago", some anarchists executed after a strike in the late XIX's. All over the world but not in the U.S.
Besides the "Martyrs of Chicago", the city is also the symbol of the prohibition in the 20’s, which led to corruption and mafia development. During an event in the Mexican Art Museum, Javier Sicilia compares drug prohibition with alcohol prohibition and asks president Obama to readapt.
