Description
A young boy cries as he stands next to a woman who is holding another boy during a funeral service that followed a demonstration in Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio and a funeral procession, both of which were organized in honor of a group of young men killed by Contras. He has a blanket over his neck and shoulders.
