- Description:
- Top frames of this print show President Osvaldo Dorticós, Prime Minister Fidel Castro and an unidentified Cuban official also dressed in army fatigues as they observe the May Day parade of military and popular militias before the national monument to José Martí at whose base they stand. Like these officials, a woman from the crowd is shown wearing the signature "guajiro" or traditional Cuban peasant hat that became a trademark of the early years of the Revolution and was widely distributed for mass rallies. In the second set of frames, the popular peasant militia is pictured in uniforms that include this hat while another militia, possibly a workers' brigade, is shown parading in black or dark-colored boinas, or berets. Final frames show Fidel Castro at a later point in the day, around dusk, when he delivered an address to the assembly. In the two last frames of the print, a white dove is shown perched on the podium, to the left of Fidel. The use of white doves to inaugurate Fidel's speeches became common after the spectacularly positive effect that the release of several trained white doves had on the Cuban people at Fidel's first victorious address to the Cuban people at Camp Columbia on January 8, 1959. See also Print 15.
