</s>104-10453-10212 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 39

Summary:  
The document contains fragmented records primarily discussing Cuban media coverage of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in April 1968, including reactions from Cuban state radio stations (*Radio Liberation*, *Radio Progresso*), and statements by Cuban officials and international solidarity groups. It references global protests, racial tensions in the U.S., and calls for revolutionary action by Black Power advocates. The text also mentions U.S. government monitoring of Cuban propaganda activities, particularly the distribution of "Black Power" posters linked to events around April 1968. Administrative details about declassification, exemptions, and document handling are included but unrelated to JFK or the assassination investigation. A reference to a document labeled "JFKIS F3" appears in one summary, though its direct connection to John F. Kennedy's assassination is unclear and not elaborated upon.
