Description: Scenes of Fidel Castro's departure from Washington and arrival in New York City by train during the second-to-last leg of his tour of the United States from April 14-26, 1959. He returned to Cuba after visiting Argentina in early May of 1959. Frames 13-15 show the faces of excited Cuban exiles, many of whom supported the Revolution financially from abroad, and to whom Fidel promised he would return victorious when he first canvassed New York City's Cuban community in 1955 for start-up funds for his guerrilla war. Frame 13 shows one of them holding a sign that reads "Fidel Directorio Revolucionario te saluda." Frames 31 and 32 show Fidel as he boards a dark car amidst heavy security in front of the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank in Manhattan. See also Prints 30, 31, 33 and 35.
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.
