Description: Top three rows of frames capture Fidel Castro's address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors' annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Fidel originally made the trip, together with a large entourage of well over a hundred people, on April 14, 1959, in response to the invitation of Jules Dubois, editor of the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. The fourth and fifth rows of frames show Fidel and a group of bearded rebel officers as they visit the buildings near the U.S. Capitol. Frames 5 and 6 show two unidentified, elegantly dressed Cuban women in close-up as they apparently attempt to get past a security guard inside an office. Final row of frames show a policeman standing next to a group of anti-Castro protesting picketers outside the hotel entrance. See also Prints 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22.
