Kennedy with Cuban Exiles
United States President John F. Kennedy meets with Cuban exile leaders Jose San Romàn, Manuel Artime, and Colonel Eneido Oliva in Palm Beach, Florida, in December 1962. The failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 seriously embarrassed the Kennedy administration, which was blamed by some for not giving it adequate support, while others criticized Kennedy for allowing it to take place at all.
