Description: Images of crowds gathered to listen to Fidel Castro's address at the May Day rally and celebration held in Havana's Plaza Cívica on May 1, 1960. Taken at dusk, after Fidel had begun his speech, the crowds are shown cheering in response to his words. Middle frames show a Red Cross worker on hand in case members of the crowd should need first aid, apparently because of the heat. Bottom frames show a group of parade marchers carrying a banner that reads "Comite Femenino." See also Print 24.
