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.
