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.

See also Prints 73, 75, 83, 84, 85 and 86.
