The hell it did.
What's more: Mayday has been a holiday since before Christ. Where does this guy get off trying to co-opt ancient traditions for his sad little cause?
My family moved from the farm to the “city” in Kansas in 1952. I remember every May 1st we would do the maypole celebration at school. Only time that I was allowed to wear a pink dress with a white organdy apron and I remember that the fabric strips were pink and white and we would do some kind of a dance while interwinding the strips. Don’t think anyone ever told us why we were doing it other than it seemed like it was a fun day in the 6th grade.
