Title: Book V Print 14: Picketers during Fidel Castro trip to the United States;
Creator: From the Collection: Yale University. Department of Manuscripts and Archives
Contributor: From the Collection: St. George, Andrew, 1924-2001
From the Collection: Stone, David C.
Published / Created: 1959 April
Description: Images of Americans carrying anti-Fidel picket signs and staging a protest in front of the building where Fidel Castro was delivering an address to the annual luncheon of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Only a few signs are completely legible, such as ones reading "Communist Fidel Castro is ready to negotiate Cuba's sugar with Russia"; "Now Cuba is the Hungary of America"; and "We Israeli and Jews Anti-Communist protest for Castro's Red Operations." In all frames, city police are seen interspersed with the protestors. The reason for their presence may be the staging of a counter-protest in what appears to be the same area, on the other side of the street. See also Print 16.
Provenance: Purchased from Andrew St. George in 1969 and from David C. Stone in 1970. Gift of Adolfas Mekas, 2010. Transferred from the Latin American Collection Curator, 2016.
