Horses in a parade by the Chicano community in Los Angeles, California, USA, 1970 (Chicanos and Chicanas are men and women of Mexican descent). Horses and horse riding are a traditional part of Mexican culture. Independence Day (Día de la Independencia) is a public holiday in Mexico on the 16th September to celebrate liberation from Spanish rule in 1810. Mexican flags are visible – held by one of the horsemen and in the crowds. This image is from a transparency taken by an amateur photographer – a vintage 1970s photograph.
