Albert Parsons was considered a dangerous man due to his fervent advocacy for labor rights and social justice during a time of significant industrial unrest in the late 19th century. His involvement in the Haymarket Affair, which was a peaceful rally in support of workers striking for an eight-hour workday that turned violent, led to his arrest and subsequent execution. Parsons’ radical views and ability to mobilize the working class posed a threat to the established order, making him a target for authorities who feared his influence on labor movements. His legacy continues to resonate in discussions about workers’ rights and activism.
