Images of the Cuban revolutionary government's nationalization of the U.S.-owned oil refinery known as Esso in Cuba (Exxon in the United States), as well as Shell Oil in June 1960. These refineries were located near the Bay of Havana. Their nationalization came as a result of Soviet offers to sell Cuba Russian crude oil at much reduced prices and the U.S. government's refusal to allow its companies to refine the oil. This was the first of all U.S.-owned businesses to be nationalized in the summer of 1960. This process was completed by August and capped off by the imposition of a U.S. embargo against Cuba in October that then prompted the Cubans' subsequent decision to nationalize all properties owned by U.S. citizens, not just businesses. In all, Cuba nationalized hundreds of millions of dollars of U.S. businesses and properties. In frames 3-5 of this print, a cloth banner signed by the "Sección Sindical de [unclear]" denounces Yankee imperialism and claims the fatherland ["patria"] for the Cubans.

Public gathering before a stage where Fidel is one of the speakers. This event appears to have been held on the far-end of the Malecón, or the sea wall skirting the entrance to the Bay of Havana. It was one of many public rallies held to celebrate the Cuban government's campaign to nationalize increasing numbers of U.S.-owned businesses following conflict over Cuba's decision to accept the Soviet Union's offer to sell unrefined oil to Cuba at much reduced prices in May of 1960. The resulting confrontation with the U.S. government led to the nationalization of U.S. oil refineries in Cuba and sparked the process of general nationalization and confiscation which this rally celebrates.
