Description:
Top row of frames and frames 8-10 of the second row depict Fidel Castro's address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors' annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Fidel originally made the trip, together with a large entourage of well over a hundred people, on April 14, 1959, in response to the invitation of Jules Dubois, editor of the Chicago Tribune and then president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. To Fidel Castro's immediate left in frame 3 is Teresa Casuso, his special assistant and director of public relations before and after Fidel's visit to the United States; on Fidel's right in the same frame is Rufo López Fresquet, the revolutionary government's Minister of the Treasury until the fall of 1960. Subsequent frames illustrate the reception held at the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C., for Cubans sent into exile by Batista's use of political terror against opponents. Much of the invited exile community had supported Castro's guerrillas financially from abroad. See also Prints 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21 and 22.

Frame 13 of the top row shows Andrew St. George sitting on the ground with a press band on his left forearm accompanied by an unidentified Cuban. They appear to be awaiting the arrival of Fidel at the airport following his highly successful, four-week visit to the United States and Argentina.
