Description
Two women cry as the men around her lower a coffin into its respective grave following a demonstration at Plaza 19 de Julio in Managua and a funeral procession for a group of young men murdered by Contras. They are being consoled by a man standing at their left wearing a black-and-red band on his left arm that reads, "We will vanquish." They are surrounded by mourners. To the right of the women stands a man holding a tape recorder. The coffin has flowers on top of it.
Dos mujeres lloran mientras los hombres a su alrededor bajan el ataúd a su sepultura respectiva después de una manifestación en la Plaza 19 de Julio en Managua y una procesión funeraria para un grupo de muchachos asesinados por contras. Ellas están siendo consoladas por un hombre a su izquierda, el cual porta un brazalete rojinegro sobre su brazo izquierdo que dice: "venceremos". Todos ellos tienen dolientes a su alrededor. A la derecha de las dos mujeres se observa un hombre sosteniendo una grabadora. El ataúd tiene flores encima.
