Description
Images of the military and civic parade that launched the May Day celebration and rally in the Plaza Cívica of Havana, held on May 1, 1960. Top frames show two more images of the same woman from the crowd who wears a guajiro, or traditional Cuban peasant hat, as well as Juan Almeida Bosque, then commander of the Cuban Revolutionary Air Force, and two unidentified bearded officials sitting on his right and left. In the second set of frames, Cuba's famed poet and longtime Communist Party member Nicolás Guillén is pictured holding a Cuban flag while he and others watch the parade from the platform at the foot of the national monument to José Martí. Images of the crowd in the same set of frames show a banner held by members of the national gastronomic workers' union. Other images depict the marches of a government-organized all-male militia, as well as soldiers of Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces. Bottom frames show the recently organized women's popular militias.
