| 释义 |
The Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC) was an activist group set up in New York City in April 1960.[1] The FPCC's purpose was to provide grassroots support for the Cuban Revolution against attacks by the United States government, once Fidel Castro began openly admitting his commitment to Marxism and began the expropriation and nationalization of Cuban assets belonging to U.S. corporations. The FPCC opposed the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961, the imposition of the United States embargo against Cuba, and was sympathetic to the Cuban view during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Subsidiary Fair Play for Cuba groups were set up throughout the United States and Canada. Among its twenty-nine early notable supporters were William Appleman Williams, Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, James Baldwin, Jean-Paul Sartre, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Waldo Frank, Alan Sagner and Carleton Beals.[2][3] The FPCC achieved notoriety through the activities of Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans. Oswald would later be known for assassinating President John F. Kennedy. Vincent T. Lee shut down the national Fair Play for Cuba Committee in December 1963 when its landlord evicted the group from its national office; the notoriety accorded to it, following the Kennedy assassination, made it impossible for the committee to continue its work.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} The group continued to exist in Canada and still published several pamphlets until late 1964. FPCC was organized by Robert Bruce Taber in 1960.[4][5] References1. ^Gott, Richard, Cuba: a new History, Yale University Press, 2004, 177–178 2. ^Gosse, Van, Where the Boys Are: Cuba, Cold War America, and the Making of the New Left, London: Verso, 1993. 3. ^{{cite news |date=December 29, 1963 |title=Pro-Castro Organization Now Defunct |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=w0c0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=smUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5239%2C6967788 |work=Sarasota Herald-Tribune |volume=39 |issue=87 |location=Sarasota, Florida |publisher=Lindsay Newspapers, Inc. |agency=UPI |page=20 |access-date=May 18, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Cassels|first=Louis|title=Fair Play for Cuba Committee Activated|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WegzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=g-4HAAAAIBAJ&pg=6044%2C5463187|accessdate=May 29, 2013|newspaper=Lodi News-Sentinel|date=June 17, 1961|agency=UPI|location=Lodi, California|page=11}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Edson|first=Peter|title=Edson in Washington; Defectors to Castro|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=-8QdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=90UEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6219%2C4139181|accessdate=May 29, 2013|newspaper=The Park City Daily News|date=October 21, 1962|agency=NEA|location=Bowling Green, Kentucky|page=21}} External links{{Portal|Cuba}}
