May Day parade through The Square in 1907. This image shows a troop of blacked up faces as part of the May Day parade of 1907. Such a parade would be correctly viewed as racist in the 21st Century. It is therefore important that this image is seen in the historical context of the time and does not represent a view of acceptable behaviour today.
