Description: Scenes from the first literary conference organized by the revolutionary government. The conference was organized, in part, by Carlos Franqui and other contributing editors of Lunes, a literary and cultural supplement to the official state newspaper, Revolución. Lunes was later eliminated in 1961 for taking positions on the role and nature of cultural freedoms contrary to those espoused by government leaders, especially Fidel Castro. Top rows feature images of an unidentified United States writer, answering reporters' questions, as well as the impassioned addresses of two speakers, one of whom is Latin American and the other Asian, at the conference itself. See also Prints 5, 23, 24, 28, 43-52 and 55.
