Incident was part of demonstration by nearly 20,000 persons protesting U.S. Policy on Angola. 3/27/61. In Angola, Kennedy's policy was instead of trying to reinforce a moderate center coalition (which did not exist), he sought to pressure both sides in order to achieve an orderly transition toward independence and avert a colonial war and possible Soviet intervention. At first he believed that the US could have it both ways: that the country could rely on an un-weakened NATO (then driven by Portuguese opposition to Angolan independence) to preserve its national security interests while continuing to be perceived by the third world as a supporter of independence for those still under colonial rule. Over the course of time he found that he had to choose between the two. He chose Portugal and a strong NATO. Photo measures 9 inches wide by 7 inches high.
