Description
Scenes of Sukarno's arrival at the airport in Havana and images of his official reception by President Dorticós, Prime Minister Fidel Castro and INRA director Antonio Nuñez Jiménez. Frames 13-21 show the official caravan of dignitaries as they drive through the streets of Havana on their way from the airport. Crowds toss carnations at the passing car and motorcade. Final frames 2-4 of this sheet show Captain William Morgan, a U.S. volunteer officer in Fidel Castro's guerrilla army, who became the director of an experimental state cooperative dedicated to the production of bull frogs for export after 1959. These frames show him examining a printed document that appears to be a newspaper clipping. Frame 4 has Morgan standing next to an unidentified Cuban man in glasses. Morgan was later executed for treason and accused of cooperating with the CIA in 1961.
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.
