Description: Two unrelated sets of images appear in this print. The top three rows show Fidel Castro in close-up, as well as several unidentified peasants, probably taken in late 1958 at La Plata, guerrilla army headquarters. The bottom rows show David Salvador, Secretary General of the CTC, addressing the general Congress of worker delegates that met in November of 1959 in Havana; the last row of images shows Fidel Castro addressing workers at the subsequent congress of the Federación Nacional de Trabajadores del Azucar [FNTA], held in Havana in December of 1959. Further documentation of both workers' congresses can be found in Contact Book VIII. See also Prints 30, 33, 38, 39 and Contact Book VIII.
