The reply came while we were speaking to the Secretary-General. Nevertheless, an official of the State Department did all in his power to try to stop us from being given rooms in the hotel. But, at that moment, as though magically, hotels began springing up all over New York, and hotels that had previously refused to grant us rooms offered to give us rooms even for nothing. But we, out of elemental reciprocity accepted the hotel in Harlem. We felt then that we had earned the right to peace and quiet. But no, this was not granted us. Already in Harlem, since nobody could stop us from living there, the campaigns of slander and defamation began. The news was bruited about that the Cuban delegation had found itself a home in a brothel. For some, a humble hotel in Harlem, a hotel inhabited by the Negroes of the United States, may obviously be a brothel. But besides this they have heaped slander on the Cuban delegation without even respecting the female members of our delegation who work with our delegation or who are part of our delegation.🏁
