Description: This print contains a large number of frames that are double-exposed (frames 20-22, 23-25). They show two different events: Fidel Castro addressing an audience of over 600 at the National Press Club luncheon held in Washington, D.C., in his honor and his speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, which was responsible for inviting him to the United States in mid-April 1959. The latter address was given at the Statler Hilton; seated next to Fidel and visible in frames 34-37 were Rufo López Fresquet (wearing glasses), Cuba's Minister of the Treasury, and Teresa Casuso, Fidel Castro's personal assistant in charge of public relations and translator throughout the trip. López Fresquet can be seen more clearly in frame 15.
