Description: Although folder reads "June of 1960," it is unlikely that this date applies to images in the top four rows of the print. These images depict David Salvador (top row) with unidentified militiaman at his side, apparently attending the congress of the CTC in Havana, November 1959. Frame 21 shows Violeta Casals, a radio personality who lent her voice to Radio Rebelde, Cuba's clandestine radio program before the triumph of revolutionary forces against Batista in January of 1959. The third row of images shows worker delegates cheering in response to a speaker whose identity is unclear, images of the same unidentified man who is shown clapping in Print 38 and images of Fidel Castro consulting with David Salvador. Bottom frames depict the performance of a visiting Soviet Bloc dance troupe to Havana, taken several months later in the spring of 1960. See also Contact Book VIII; Prints 38, 50.
Provenance: Purchased from Andrew St. George in 1969 and from David C. Stone in 1970. Gift of Adolfas Mekas, 2010. Transferred from the Latin American Collection Curator, 2016.
