- Description
- Taken at the height of the afternoon sun, these images show parade participants and onlookers gathered for the May Day rally and celebration held in Havana's Plaza Cívica on May 1, 1960. The top set of frames shows a group of marchers with a banner calling for the spread of revolution to other countries of Latin America. The second set of frames shows the same unidentified officials in Print 21, as they observe from the speakers' platform, and members of the recently opened boarding school for promising provincial youth named after Camilo Cienfuegos. These students were called "Camilitos." The third set of frames shows Fidel Castro, Osvaldo Dorticós and other unidentified officials in army fatigues as they observe the parade. Bottom images show a military band and the popular peasant militia on parade. See also Print 21.
