Uno de Mayo: 1939
May 1939. "May Queen and maypole dance at May Day-Health Day festivities at Irwinville Farms, Georgia." Medium format negative by Marion Post Wolcott. View full size.
May Day
Dancing around the maypole has been going on for centuries, and yet all some grump can do is to make reference to Soviets and disparage the girls' dresses.
I mean why bother looking up the tradition if you know nothing about it, when cold war rhetoric and insults come readily to mind?
[Um, that was a joke. Hello? - Dave]
Their song?
"All Power to the Workers' and Soldiers' Soviets" or "Wake Me Early Tomorrow, Mother, For I'm to Be Queen of the May."
No matter: now we know the origin of the ugly bridesmaid dress!
