Description: Fidel Castro addresses delegates and the media at the Congress of the Federación Nacional de Trabajadores del Azucar [FNTA], representing 234 sugar workers' unions, held in Havana in mid-December 1959. Other frames show a militiaman (wearing a beret) in the act of frisking and searching an unidentified man while another man pointing a pistol looks on. These events seem to have taken place in a bathroom, possibly in a private residence where Fidel Castro was at the time (such as that of Celia Sánchez, pictured in Prints 58, 60, and 64). See also Prints 73, 75, 83, 84, 85 and 86.
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.
