The crowd in this image fills a wide Mexico City avenue on May Day 1929, with a large banner carried at the front of the column. May 1 was marked across Mexico as a day for labor, and by the late 1920s the capital's unions, student groups and party organizers regularly used the holiday for mass marches past government buildings. The gallery board places the picture among library holdings, a reminder that such photographs of street demonstrations were often preserved in collections documenting the labor movement and the politics of the period.
