Description
Bottom two rows of frames show United States Embassy staff inside and outside the Embassy in Havana; frames 17-19 show United States Ambassador Philip W. Bonsal in his chauffeur-driven car with another official. Frames 15-19 show a woman and small boy looking up at a sign protesting United States complicity with acts of aggression carried out by planes based in Florida and directed by former batistianos and their allies in Miami. The sign reads (in grammatically poor English): "Till when will USA permit the bomber to Cuba?" In the background of the photograph stands the United States Embassy. Very bottom close-up images of Fidel Castro were taken as he gave a televised address to the nation and denounced Commander Huber Matos of treason and counterrevolutionary conspiracy for the first time following the latter's voluntary resignation of his post on October 19, 1959. For additional images of embassy officials at the Embassy, see Prints 39, 48, 49, 64. For images of Fidel Castro's televised address of October 19, see also Prints 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 42 and 60.
