Haymarket Martyrs' Monument - View this location on map Located at the Forest Home/Walden Cemetery in Forest Park, IL, the Haymarket Martyrs' Monument commemorates workers' struggle to achieve the 8-hour workday in America and throughout the world, and the 1886 rally in Haymarket Square that led to the hangings of four leaders of the fight for workers' rights. The 'martyrs' are buried beneath the monument which was constructed to pay homage both to the labor and radical movements' leaders, and workers' continuing quest for justice. A testimony to the movement's enduring legacy is the continued desire of those associated with the labor movement to be buried alongside the Haymarket martyrs. 863 South Des Plaines Avenue, Forest Park, Illinois Historical
