- Description
- Documenting Fidel Castro's trip to the United States that began with a visit to Washington, D.C. in mid-April, the second, fourth, fifth and seventh rows of frames on this print show Castro surrounded by Cuban functionaries, bearded rebels and American reporters in the front vestibule of the Cuban Embassy, located at 2630 16th Street NW. The top, third and sixth rows of frames depict 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 college students being paid $17 an hour for their time by pro-Batista groups seeking to discredit the Revolution as "communist." See also Prints 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
