Description
Scenes from Fidel Castro's televised address to the nation on October 19, 1959, in which he denounced Commander Huber Matos of treason and of being a puppet of counterrevolutionaries for attempting to resign his post in protest over the increasing authoritarianism and influence of Communists within the new government. Audience members in the studio include Raúl Castro and Che Guevara. In frames 4-9, Raúl Castro is seen taking notes during Fidel's presentation. In frames 11 and 12, Raúl is seen standing up to make a comment during his brother's speech. Frames 18-21 (backwards) show Fidel Castro standing next to Crescencio Pérez, the famed white-bearded peasant who first joined Fidel's army and encouraged other peasants to join. After the war, Fidel rewarded Pérez with a commission in the permanent standing army. See also Prints 31, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 42 and 60.
