During a lifetime of soapbox oratory for myriad radical causes, Lucy Parsons loved to bait the cops. So it's only fitting that police chose to continue the fight six decades after her death, objecting to naming a vest-pocket park on the Northwest Side in her honor.Over the vigorous protests of the local police union, the Chicago Park District's board on Wednesday named the park after Parsons, a woman long associated with the notorious Haymarket bombing of 1886.
Here's a link to The Lucy Parsons Project, if you wanted to know more. The site presents her favorably, and although I'd love to link to a more fair and balanced (read: negatively biased) source, not really up to looking for one of those, either.

Saw it linked at Pandagon, and very much regret following the thing.
Which is, of course, why I share it you.
