Summary: A film of the 1924 May Day International Labour Carnival
Title number: 19936
LSA ID: LSA/26379
Description: Workers trample 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.
