The title places this scene in Mexico City on May 1, 1929, and gives the day its own name, Día contra la Reacción, or "Day Against Reaction." May 1 was widely observed as a workers' holiday, and the caption suggests a demonstration aimed at conservative and clerical opponents during a tense period of political rivalry after the Mexican Revolution. The Spanish wording is worth reading closely, because it shows how the event was framed as a political statement as much as a labor observance.
