- Description
- Top rows of frames show Raúl and Fidel Castro addressing a massive rally organized by Cuba's government-affiliated labor unions to show support for the recent arrest of Commander Huber Matos, denunciations of the exile-led counterrevolutionary violence in Havana that coincided, and leaders' recent decision to re-open Revolutionary Tribunals. This rally was held before the Presidential Palace in the evening and night of October 26, 1959. Bottom rows of images 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. Notes: See also Prints 44, 46, 47, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 66 and 70.
