Book VI Print 14: Fidel Castro giving speechesYale University. Department of Manuscripts and Archives[1959-1960]engspaBottom row shows Fidel Castro addressing a large crowd in the plaza of what appears to be Santiago de Cuba, possibly in December of 1959 or January of 1960. The third through fifth rows of photographs show Fidel Castro delivering a nighttime address. Behind him, to his left, stands Crescencio Pérez, a peasant made famous for having first helped Fidel and his surviving group of guerrillas after their fateful landing of the Granma on the southern shore of Oriente in December of 1956. Pérez's long line of formal and informal kin relations proved invaluable to the stabilization and long-term successful legitimization of Fidel's guerrillas among the highland populations of the Sierra Maestra. After the war, Fidel awarded Pérez with a commission in the Revolutionary Armed Forces. The final row of images shows Fidel Castro flanked by President Osvaldo Dorticós and the Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba, Enrique Pérez Serantes, at a formal dinner in an outdoor ceremonial setting. Behind them stand a large number of uniformed soldiers, Cuban marines and waiters. Sitting before Dorticós appears to be small standing statue of José Martí that might have been presented to him during the course of the evening's affair. See also Prints 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17.
