Veteran Socialist, Trinidad de la Cuba



The Cuban people seem to remain very loyal to the revolution even if they now feel frustrated and disaffected. I met this veteran of '59 in Trinidad de la Cuba. A contemporary of Castro, Guevara & Cienfuegos, he now survives by selling cigarettes, paintings & political pamphlets from his front parlour. Pictures on the wall show him in earlier times as a delegate to an international socialist congress.
