两位影响南美洲历史发展的传奇男人!
That time Malcolm X met Fidel Castro in Harlem 60 years ago on this day.
A year after the Cuban Revolution, Castro and his delegation came to New York to attend the UN General Assembly, but the management of the Manhattan hotel the delegation booked now refused to house them after the US government already pressured other hotels to reject the Cubans. Upon learning of their situation, Malcolm X invited them to come uptown to Harlem, to stay at the Black-owned Hotel Theresa, where Malcolm X said he would be greeted with open arms.
"We had two choices: one was the patio in the United Nations; when I told this to the Secretary-General he was horrified at the thought of a delegation camping in tents there; and then we received Malcolm X’s offer, he had talked to one of our comrades, and I said: “That is the place, Hotel Theresa." And there we went,” said Castro.
People from Harlem received the 34-year-old Cuban revolutionary leader by the thousands, with masses huddling round-the-clock in front of the hotel. Castro was to them that bearded revolutionary who had told white America to go to hell and his stay there was an important acknowledgement of the struggle African Americans shared with the rest of the Third World in resisting racism, colonialism and imperialism.
When the 35-year-old Malcolm X received Castro they talked about the incredible inhospitality the Cuban party had experienced at the Shelburne, the insulting demand made upon them for a $10,000 deposit against damage to be expected from Cuban "barbarians" after a racist slander campaign in the press that included baseless charges of plucking live chickens at the hotel.
But above all, Fidel spoke of Harlem. "I always wanted to come to Harlem," said Castro, "but I was not sure of what kind of welcome I would get. When I got the news that I would be welcome in Harlem, I was happy." The Black people of the United States were not as brainwashed by the government's anti-Cuban propaganda as whites, he continued. Revolutionary Cuba, a majority Black nation, was wiping out racial discrimination. Cubans, Africans and the Black people of the United States were all in the same boat. "I feel as if I were in Cuba now. I feel very warm here." Malcolm X responded that it was indeed true that, "We in Harlem are not addicted to all the propaganda the U.S. government puts out." And then they embraced.
"As long as Uncle Sam is against you, you know you're a good man," Malcolm X told Castro.

I just returned from 3 weeks in Kyrgyzstan. As a landscape photographer I have travelled lots countries in the world so I guess I can say I am ‘used’ to beautiful landscapes. Until recently Central Asia was unknown territory for me. I always love to explore countries that are not really on the radar of photographers and travellers in general. It inspires and pushes my creativity. The most important reason for visiting Kyrgyzstan was to meet my girlfriend’s family. But other than that I was triggered by the beauty of its nature. As a photographer and nature lover, you know that feeling when you see that untouched beauty? Crazy mountains with open valleys? It triggers you somehow. That’s what Kyrgyzstan did to me.
Kyrgyzstan doesn’t require a visa to access. It’s fairy easy to travel to if you’re willing to transfer somewhere. It doesn’t really offer direct flights from most places. You’ll be flying into the capital Bishkek which is already surrounded by crazy mountains. It starts right there. Upon entering the city you already see high snowcapped peaks around you. Basically this whole country has crazy heights and insane mountains. It’s on another level than what we’re used to in Europe, especially for me living in the Netherlands below sea level ;). Being on an altitude around 3000m is fairly common here with peaks over 7000m and occasional hikes to 4000m+. I had a bit of trouble with the altitudes in the beginning of my visit but this disappeared after a while.
Nature in Kyrgyzstan is really untouched and lots of locals live like nomads. The countryside roads are rather bad. I was actually surprised that most are marked as roads on Google Maps because a normal rental car would never be able to drive there. You need at least a high 4×4. But with some effort (driving ‘bad’ roads and hiking steep paths) you’ll be able to see some of the most beautiful untouched nature you’ve ever seen. Endless valleys with huge mountains around you, crystal clear turquoise lakes, wild eagles, canyons, you name it. This country has it all. I was surprised by its variety of landscapes in a rather small area. Just a few hours driving would bring me from snowcapped mountains to landscapes that looked like the moon with red canyons and unearthly textures. Americans will know this as ‘Utah’. Because of the remote areas there is literally zero light pollution here. During the night looking up you will see the brightest milky way in the sky you’ve ever seen.
When you’re exploring the valleys you’ll see the locals from time to time. They live in Yurts. Yurts are small ‘houses’ that look like a big tent. These people are mostly shepherds taking care of cattle in the summer. You’ll see hundreds of sheep or horses with glaciers in the background. It’s a really impressive sight. These shepherds live without any luxury like electricity or a toilet. All of the locals I met in the mountains were friendly. They didn’t speak English much but I think they enjoyed some variety of company as they’re in the mountains for months without much conversation. It’s life at its simplest. It got me thinking if these people actually need more. They’re just living day by day, with their cattle, not worrying about anything in the world. Literally disconnected from the world and living in their own small world. Just surviving.
During my travel I visited Bishkek, Chaek, Song-Kul, Around Isskyl-Kul lake and Karakol. There is still lots of more places to explore for me so I hope to return soon.
I’d like to mention that despite lots of people think the ‘stans’ are ‘dangerous’ to travel to I’ve never really felt unsafe. Especially in the mountains where no one really cares that you’re walking around with expensive gear. I slept a lot in tents, vulnerable to robbery but nothing ever happened to me. I was often accompanied with locals though, either my girlfriend (and family) or people from Visit Karakol, a travel agency from Karakol that helped me a lot in getting to places that I normally wouldn’t be able to go to by myself.
Kyrgyzstan is an amazingly beautiful country with lots of really untouched nature and I would definitely recommend visiting it.
I tried my best to capture a general overview of the beauty of the country. As I am a landscape photographer I focus on the beauty of the country mainly regarding nature. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

Neil Patrick Harris, Anna Kendrick and Jack Black perform the opening number "Moving Pictures" at the 2015 #Oscars!
How do you make a great opening number for the Oscars? Get a bunch of Broadway talent to do it.
The production number, "Moving Pictures," sung by Tony-winning Academy Awards host Neil Patrick Harris and "Into the Woods" star Anna Kendrick, was written by Academy Award-winning "Frozen" songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.
The visuals edited Harris into classic films from "The Wizard of Oz" to "Star Wars" to "Into the Woods."
The middle section of the song, as sung by Jack Black, aped Stephen Sondheim's "Witch's Rap" from Into the Woods, and he warned Harris that he would be “better off polishing your Tony." Kendrick drove him off by yelling “Beat it” and flinging her Cinderella shoe at him.
Lyrics:
[Neil Patrick Harris]
Wow, check out this place. Check out everything.
Check out the glamour, the glitter, people Tweeting on the Twitter
and no one's drunk and bitter yet 'cause no one has lost.
Look at the diamonds, the dresses, people going to excesses,
the stress is on and everybody's fingers are crossed.
I know the camera's on and we're behaving our best.
Yet, I secretly hope someone pulls a Kanye West.
But we are here tonight, with our Xanax and Dior,
thank you lists and publicists who fought the Oscar war.
Tonight we toast what we love most
and I am thrilled to be your host.
'Cause all of it is for moving pictures, shadows and light,
like a magic trick done in plain sight.
Why do we love them? Why do we care?
When they're just moving pictures that aren't really there
But then I think of Chaplin and Monroe
and Argo and Fargo or when Marty made his car go
back in time at the mall
And then there's Bardot and Brando and Billy Dee as Lando
or when Sharon went commando and unsettled us all.
I gasped when Indy goes back for his hat
or when I think of all the tension between Ben and Matt.
[pause] Oh, my stars
I love transformers that transform and perfect storms that storm.
small town girls who change the world by challenging the norm
Godfather 2, the movie Clue
all these films that inspired you to stand up and perform.
Moving pictures, take us over the rainbow
across the fields of our dreams.
In the heat of the night to defeat and to fight evil schemes.
To swim or to swing, to dance or to sing,
to flee down a flight in fright,
yes, moving pictures are coming to life tonight.
[Anna Kendrick joins]
Moving pictures.
[Kendrick]
Where is my shoe?
[Harris]
Is this your Jimmy Choo?
[Kendrick]
Why yes.
[Both]
Moving pictures
[Harris]
and how they can move you.
[Kendrick]
And also improve you.
[Harris]
The joy of pretending,
[Kendrick]
With such happy endings except for in Gone Girl when that lady slit your throat.
[Harris]
Spoiler alert.
[Both]
Moving pictures...
[Jack Black]
Stop!
This is what you sound like:
'Movies, movies wow they rock'
Listen kid, it's all a big crock.
Now it's market trends
and fickle friends
and Hollywood baloney.
Believe me Neil,
you're better off just polishing your Tony
This industry's in flux,
it's run by mucky-mucks,
pitching tents for tentpoles and chasing Chinese bucks.
Opening with lots of zeroes,
all we get is superheroes.
Superman, Spider Man, Batman,
Jedi man, sequel man, prequel man.
Formulaic scripts!
And after 50 Shade of Grey, they'll all have leather whips.
In a world where our breeds are becoming machines,
the only screens we're watching are the screens in our jeans
Screens in our jeans Screens in our jeans
The only screens we're watching...
[Harris]
JACK! I'm trying to...I'm kinda in the...Would you mind?
[Black]
But you know?
[Kendrick]
BEAT IT.
[Black]
Fine.
[Harris]
Yes, green-lit films can stall
[Kendrick]
Scripts can hit a wall
[Harris]
Stars may pass
[Kendrick]
Or fire your ass
[Harris]
And weekly grosses fall.
But when they hit, you must admit,
they sometimes change your view of it
in ways both big and small
[Kendrick]
Have a ball
Moving pictures, millions of pixels on screens.
They may not be real life,
but they'll show you what life really means.
More than any one image.
More than any one star.
Truly, moving pictures shape who we are
whether we're big brained and British
Or hiking and skittish
a legendary leader
a Birdman in a theater
a boy we watch until he's grown
a sniper in a combat zone
a wealthy philanthropic creep
Magic Meryl Effin' Streep
Lobby boys and bleeding drummers
All these awesome up and comers
Who will get a statue? Results are coming at you!
At the 87th Oscars moving picture show!
