Book V Print 16: Fidel Castro visiting United States Capitol building and with Dominican exiles

Creator:: From the Collection: Yale University. Department of Manuscripts and Archives
Published / Created:: 1959 April
Call Number:: MS 650
Container / Volume:: Box 4, folder 340
Image Count:: 1
Description:: Top two rows of images show Fidel Castro visiting the U.S. Capitol building and frame 13 of the third row shows Castro entering a car marked "Department of State 1." Remaining images show a pro-Fidel demonstration in which participants appear to be Dominicans driven into exile by the political terror of the Rafael Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. By the time of Fidel's visit, it was known that he publicly supported the training of guerrillas to topple the Trujillo regime, which had been hosting Fulgencio Batista and other high officials of the Batista dictatorship's intelligence divisions since the time of their escape from Cuba on January 1, 1959. Signs held by the picketers read "Nuestro lema Dios, Patria y Libertad"; "27 de Febrero Saluda a Fidel"; "1844 Independence 1959 Liberation"; "Democracy Yes Trujillo No"; "Cuban justice Batista style" (with accompanying image of anti-civilian violence); and "There's an iron curtain in Europe. A bamboo in China and a Sugar Cane Curtain in the Dominican Republic." See also Print 14.

Description:: Images of Americans carrying anti-Fidel picket signs and staging a protest in front of the building where Fidel Castro was delivering an address to the annual luncheon of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Only a few signs are completely legible, such as ones reading "Communist Fidel Castro is ready to negotiate Cuba's sugar with Russia"; "Now Cuba is the Hungary of America"; and "We Israeli and Jews Anti-Communist protest for Castro's Red Operations." In all frames, city police are seen interspersed with the protestors. The reason for their presence may be the staging of a counter-protest in what appears to be the same area, on the other side of the street. See also Print 16.

Image Count:: 1
Description:: Taken during Fidel Castro's trip to the United States that began with a visit to Washington, D.C., in mid-April, the first, fifth, and sixth rows of this print (as well as frame 22 of the bottom row) show U.S. citizens carrying picket signs and protesting on the sidewalk in front of the Statler Hilton Hotel where Fidel Castro was speaking at a luncheon held by the American Society of Newspaper Editors. In a subsequent speech given in Central Park, New York City, Fidel claimed that the picketers were American college students who were paid $17 an hour for their time by pro-Batista groups seeking to discredit the Revolution as "communist." Phrases used on the picket signs include: "Castro is the red Oppressor of Cuba!"; "Reds digging in U.S. back yard with help of Castro"; "Fidel Castro Red Puppet" and "We don't like beards. Barbers of America." Frame 36 shows three police men guarding the entrance to the ballroom where Fidel was speaking. The second row of frames and frames 8, 9, 10 of the third row show Fidel Castro surrounded by reporters, security and other embassy functionaries at the foot of the central staircase at the Cuban Embassy in Washington. Frames 11-17 and frames 18-21, 22 show Fidel Castro sitting and talking with President Eisenhower's recently appointed Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, who later hosted a lunch at his home for Fidel. See also Prints 4, 8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22.
