Description
Fidel Castro addressing the American Society of Newspaper Editors' annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Fidel originally made the trip, together with a large entourage of well over a hundred people, on April 14, 1959, in response to the invitation of Jules Dubois, editor of the Chicago Tribune and then president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. To Fidel Castro's immediate right in frames 12-13 and then to his left in frames 15, 16, 17, is Teresa Casuso, his special assistant and director of public relations before and after Fidel's visit to the United States; to her immediate left in frames 21, 22-28, is Rufo López Fresquet, the revolutionary government's Minister of the Treasury until the fall of 1960. López Fresquet also appears in close-up, next to Fidel Castro in frame 17. These frames were taken as journalists approached the microphone to ask Fidel Castro a question. See also Prints 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 22.
