Description
A crowd mourns the death of two young men killed by Contras during a demonstration at Plaza 19 de Julio in Managua. In the foreground there are two women, one young and one old, consoling each other as they both cry. In the background there are several men and women also crying. Below them is a casket covered with the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua. Most of the women are covering their hair.
