Adolf Fisher

Adolf Fisher was a German-born American labor activist who played a significant role in the labor movement of the late 1800s. He was one of the eight leaders arrested after the Haymarket Affair, a pivotal event in labor history that sought to secure workers' rights, including the demand for an eight-hour workday. Fisher was ultimately sentenced to death, becoming one of the 'Chicago Martyrs,' symbolizing the sacrifices made for workers' rights.
