Banners carried through the streets of Mexico City mark this as a workers' demonstration rather than a holiday parade. May 1 had been observed as an international day of labor since the late 1880s, and in Mexico the date became an occasion for unions and political groups to press their demands in the capital. In 1929 the country was still working through the aftermath of the 1910 revolution and the political turmoil that followed President Álvaro Obregón's assassination the year before. The banners themselves show the range of causes that filled the streets that year.
