Banners reading "Día contra la Reacción" ("Day against Reaction") mark this Mexico City march of May 1, 1929, as a deliberate political statement rather than a routine holiday procession. May Day had long been observed by workers and leftist organizations as a day of labor solidarity, and the slogan shows the demonstrators framing the occasion as a stand against conservative forces. The year was politically tense, as the government worked to hold power after the March 1929 Escobar rebellion and the new official party was taking shape. Street marches like this one show how public politics was staged in the capital at the time.
