Black Procession

An organizer of the townspeople's movement, he edited a memorial with reform demands which was delivered to the king during the Black Procession of 1789.

Of great importance was the Free Royal Cities Act, passed on April 21, 1791, which satisfied the demands of the Black Procession.

The record features 3 previously unreleased live tracks that were recorded during 2010's Black Procession Tour in support of the band's last studio effort, The Blackening.

The funeral of Pyjas turned into a student demonstration in the streets of Kraków (later called the "Black Procession"), the largest of its kind in Kraków since the March events of 1968.

While the Sejm comprised representatives of the nobility and clergy, the reformers were supported by the burghers, who in late 1789 organized in Warsaw a "Black Procession" demanding full political enfranchisement of the bourgeoisie.

There they signed the "Act of Unification of the Cities" and formed the Black Procession, which headed for the Royal Castle and handed in their postulates of greatly increased political and economic rights for residents of towns to the King and the Sejm.
