Description
A large crowd participates in a funeral procession following a demonstration held at Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio in honor of a group of young men murdered by Contras. Many in the crowd are holding wreaths with flowers of varying colors, the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front and the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua. In the middle of the image there is a large sign that reads, "They shall not pass through the border/We fight to vanquish/They shall not pass."

En medio de la imagen se observa una gran pancarta que dice: "De la frontera no pasarán/luchamos para vencer/no pasarán".
