- Description
- A large group of Mayan men, many in colorful clothing, wait in a long line to vote on March 7, 1982. They are all wearing hats. Behind the line there is a wall with colorful panels in white, blue, and pink. Groups of Mayan men started lining up to vote at five in the morning. They were told that they would be killed if they did not vote.
