Emma Goldman por la CNT-FAI
El 1 de mayo de 1937, en el Hyde Park de Londres (Inglaterra), durante la gran manifestació de 60.000 personas para conmemorar el «Primero de Mayo» —siendo la primera vez en treinta años que participaban anarquistas—, Emma Goldman, bajo los auspicios del Comité de Londres de la Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) y de la Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI), habla sobre la experiencia revolucionaria y colectivista que se estaba llevando a cabo en la península ibérica.

I do not have it saved. It used to be that a simple search for CNT-FAI would produce it. Today it only led me to a stock photo website that had it heavily watermarked. Reverse image search led me to the Wikipedia article on Anarcho-Syndicalism where it can be seen.
The Internet is getting more useless by the day.
