WUO: Haymarket Police Memorial Destruction

Shortly before the Days of Rage demonstrations on October 6, 1969,[73] the Weatherman planted a bomb which blew up a statue in Chicago commemorating the deaths of police officers during the 1886 Haymarket Riot.[24] The blast broke nearly 100 windows and scattered pieces of the statue onto the Kennedy Expressway below.[74] The city rebuilt the statue and unveiled it on May 4, 1970, but the Weathermen blew it up as well on October 6, 1970.[74][75] The city rebuilt the statue once again, and Mayor Richard J. Daley posted a 24-hour police guard to protect it,[74] but the Weathermen destroyed the third one, as well. The city compromised and rebuilt the monument once more, but this time they located it at Chicago Police Headquarters.
