International Labour Carnival Topical Budget 662-2
Child communists from Kentish Town and firebrand female speakers are among the attendees at this May Day march to Hyde Park on a rainy day in 1924.
Terrific film of the 1924 May Day International Labour Carnival, with workers tramping through cobbled streets in “murk and gloom” to Hyde Park with banners aloft – one reads “London District Council Of Unemployed Organisations – not charity but work or full maintenance”. Speeches are held in muddy Hyde Park, with a female orator letting rip to a large crowd while behind her flies a homemade flag for the Kentish Town Communist Childrens Section.
