Photo Essay: The Battle Over Elian
November 25-28, 1999 Elian Gonzalez is found on Thanksgiving Day, clinging to an inner tube three
miles off the Florida coast. He's released from hospital the following
day after treatment for dehydration and sunburn, and taken into the care
of his father's uncle, Lazaro Gonzalez. Anti-Castro exiles make Elian
the focus of their protests against Cuba's attendance at the World Trade
Organization summit in Seattle.
