Description: Top rows of frames show a demonstration by members of Acción Católica, supported by various Catholic priests who stand at the margins of the demonstration held at Havana's Central Park around the statue of José Martí. These images were probably taken in March of 1960, following conflicts between Catholic-led student protests over the visit of Soviet Premier Anastas Mikoyan that February. Bottom four rows of frames depict cars racing at the race track at the Casino Deportivo outside Havana. For more images of the Catholic-led demonstration, see Prints 40, 41; for more images of car racing, see Prints 61, 62.
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.
