Description: The top row of frames depicts members of the audience and a panel of speakers, including Fidel Castor, in a hotel salon, probably at the Statler Hilton in New York City. The second row of frames depict Fidel Castro standing in a hotel hallway, surrounded by a crowd and guarded by police, as he receives and examines a new fishing pole from an unidentified man to his side. The third row of frames shows Fidel posing with elegantly dressed Cuban women, probably from the exile community of New York City, who attended his talk. The last rows of frames show Fidel Castro with the elegantly dressed female members of his entourage; the woman wearing the strapless satin gown with train is his special assistant Teresa Casuso and the woman sitting directly to Fidel's left wearing a mink cloak is Celia Sánchez.
