Description
Bottom frames of the sheet show Raúl Castro, the Chief of Cuba's Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias from October 1959 to the present, giving a speech on national television. Top half of the images show members of the Unidad Femenina Revolucionaria training at the parade grounds of El Morro Fortress, as well as another group of women dressed in civilian clothes being taught how to march by officers of the Fuerzas Armadas. These first militias were trained and organized in November and December, 1959. The pictures are probably taken early in the winter of 1960 when the photographer visited Cuba for a lengthy stay. Also present is a reporter from California where shots of the same uniformed women subsequently appeared in newspapers owned by C.K. McClatchy, the Sacramento Bee, the Modesto Bee and the Fresno Bee. See also Prints 6, 7, and 8.
