Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Fernández de Cossío, along with Cuban diplomats from the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations, gathered in Harlem alongside US-based activists and organizational leaders to commemorate the historic meeting between Fidel Castro and Malcolm X which took place 65 years ago.

“The meeting at the Hotel Theresa was not a photo-op or passing event,” said Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of New York City-based movement incubator The People’s Forum. De Los Santos addressed the crowd gathered in the Riverside Church in Harlem. “It was a profound act of solidarity that showed the world a different way forward.”
