Documents / FOIA release
This CIA FOIA release contains an April 1968 dispatch, UFGA-29877, summarizing how Cuban media covered the assassination of Martin Luther King from 5 to 8 April. The dispatch quotes Granma and Havana radio stations, including statements by Stokely Carmichael and others that call for revolutionary violence. The release also includes May 1971 cables and a memo to the FBI on Americans at the World Peace Council conference in Budapest, where King was posthumously awarded the Joliot-Curie Gold Medal.

I should be very interested to know more about your plans with a view towards the possibility of publishing your book and hope you'll be able to write me. Incidentally, we are about to publish Jose Yglesian's In the Fist of the Revolution: Life in a Cuban Country Town. I thought you'd be interested to read it and have sent you a copy under separate cover. Youra sincerely, Paula McGuire
