Description
Scenes of anti-impunity demonstrations protesting United States criticism of trials of Batista officials and politicians allied to the Batista regime. Frames 17 and 22-34 show demonstrators flooding El Prado (Havana's main colonial and national-era thoroughfare) and extending all the way down to the Malecón, directly in front of the former Presidential Palace. Frames 10-11 show demonstrators in front of the Museo Nacional de Arte (now Museo de Bellas Artes, Colección Cubana) and frames 18-21 show demonstrators packing the street in front of the Corona cigar factory. Signs in frames 12, 25 and 26 held by different demonstrators read "Castigo a los culpables." Signs in frames 29-30 are written for a United States audience, saying "Justice-Mister-Cuba." Frames 35-36 show a red cross worker coming to aid a woman demonstrator who has fainted from the heat and crowds. See also Prints 69-75.
