This home movie, shot by longtime Corpus Christi resident Antonio Rodríguez Fuentes, captures the Fourth of July parade through downtown Corpus Christi in 1929. The footage provides insight into the early construction of parade floats, with many adopting a boxy appearance and featuring limited decoration. Fuentes and his wife Josefina were active members of the city's Mexican-American society, participating in several community organizations.
