Description:
Two sets of apparently unrelated images. The top four rows of images show a massive Catholic religious procession in which the image of Jesus Christ is carried on a flowered litter through the streets of an unidentified provincial city, possibly Santa Clara. The bottom two rows of images show Faure Chomón Mediavilla, a former leader of the Directorio Revolucionario, an organization of university students that together with the Organización Auténtica, carried out a failed assault on the Presidential Palace on March 13, 1957, for the sole purpose of assassinating the dictator Fulgencio Batista. After the failure of the plan and the arrest or killing without trial of most of its participants, Chomón joined others in founding and directing the operations of a second guerrilla front in the Escambray mountains of Santa Clara province for the remainder of the war. Chomón remains a central figure in Cuba's Castro-led government. Here, Chomón is making a televised appearance in which he responds to the questions of two unidentified journalists (seated to his right), also serving as hosts.

Description:
Two unrelated sets of images appear in this print. Top three rows show Fidel Castro addressing the public in a televised speech, made in 1960. Before him sits a small plaque announcing the name of a new broadcast chain called "FIEL" (or "Faithful"). Although folder is marked "June 1960," it is unlikely that the bottom three rows of images were taken then because they include David Salvador, the Secretary General of the Confederación de Trabajadores Cubanos [CTC], Cuba's largest labor union, who was publicly disgraced as a counterrevolutionary and accused of corruption after he criticized the revolutionary government's efforts to control the labor union's decision and governing body in April of 1960. Here he is shown alongside Fidel Castro and others, an impossibility following that process. Bottom three rows feature images of participants and worker delegates at what appears to be the inauguration of the congress of the CTC, held in Havana in November of 1959. Frames 22-26 feature 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. Frames 12-13 in the bottom row of images show Fidel Castro consulting with Osmani Cienfuegos; David Salvador sits at his side taking notes. Frames 14 and 15 feature an unidentified man sitting with the revolutionary leadership at the head table, clapping. Frame 16 shows Salvador with an unidentified man wearing a militia uniform, beret rolled under a shoulder epaulet, at his side. See also Contact Book VIII; Prints 32, 37 and 39.

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.

Top rows of frames depict a group of rebels in a requisitioned truck as they inspect the damage they have apparently done to building belonging to a sugar mill. Row two shows the rebels driving past a railroad car loaded with sugar cane that has been abandoned on the tracks, as well as a picture of Efigenio Ameijeiras sitting at table. The next row, frame 1, and the final, fourth row of frames show Ameijeiras and several other rebels, sitting at a table inside a wooden building; two of the men, sitting at the head of the table and facing the camera are probably part of the group of United States hostages taken earlier that summer. Row three shows Efigenio Ameijeiras and other rebels as seen through the front window of a jeep parked alongside a road. Frames 19 and 20 show a local black peasant balancing a bunch of bananas on his head and holding a plate of ground corn. The last frame in the third row shows the exterior of the wooden building where the hostages are being kept. At the front door stands an armed guard who is flanked by two hand-painted signs, apparently meant to throw off any suspicion of its use as a rebel hideout or a relic of the building's former use by Batista forces: (on the left) "Viva Batista y su ejército," (on the right) "La razón La justicia La tiene Batista."

Description:
This sheet has four unrelated images. Frame 6 shows a guerrilla soldier holding a camera and taking a picture of St. George; next to him is another rebel and in the background is a small military outpost built during the Batista-era for policing the countryside. Because the soldier with the camera wears a handmade armband of the 26th of July Movement, it is likely that this picture was taken in the early months of 1959. The adjacent frame shows an elderly militiaman standing amidst a field strewn with various oil or munition barrels. Frame 16 shows the cashier of a casino standing at his post as a tourist appears to be cashing in his chips. The final frame, numbered 15, shows airport skycaps unloading luggage from the cargo hold of an airplane.

Description:
This set of prints documents a visit to Nicaragua that St. George appears to have made in late May or early June of 1959, after a long stay in Cuba earlier that year. On May 30, 1959, Luis Somoza Debayle, who ruled Nicaragua from 1956 to 1963 following the assassination of his father, the dictator Anastasio Somoza García, put down an attempted uprising against the government led by groups who found their inspiration in the Cuban Revolution. Luis's brother, Anastasio Somoza Debayle, replaced his father as the commander of the United States-trained National Guard, a legacy of the United States' long military occupation of Nicaragua that began with the landing of Marines in 1912 and continued (with a brief reprieve in 1925) through 1933. St. George interviewed both of the Somoza brothers (see especially Prints 1, 2, 16 for closeup images of Luis, and Prints 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19 for images of Anastasio, Jr.). Prints 10, 13, 14, 17 show police and military officials stopping citizens on the streets, some of whom are probably students. Although tiny in number, the student body of Nicaragua's only university in Managua were famously critical of the Somoza regime and were likely to have been the primary subject of these random checks and searches. Print 22 appears to show the processing of a large number of civilians in a police station, including one Catholic priest; it also shows several soldiers inspecting caches of ammunition. Print 24 shows several National Guardsmen questioning a well-dressed woman at the door of a middle-class home. Print 26 shows St. George in the company of an unidentified American, who appears in the role of a journalist in Print 4 but is here shown carrying a rifle and dressed in full military fatigues; several shots also in Print 26 show them drinking from a bottle of rum. Also in these images, National Guardsmen are shown in the act of arresting a small unit of guerrillas who appear with their hands up in a position of surrender. Print 20 provides more complete documentation of the surrender of these men and their subsequent capture by National Guardsmen, including images of the guerrillas posting a white flag of surrender before their safehouse, and various stages of their capture by the National Guard. Print 21 includes close-up images of some of those guerrillas arrested. Prints 3, 4, 5, 15, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29 document the National Guard column involved in this operation, named "Columna San Jacinto," in Print 25.
