Bay of Pigs: 40 Years After


Bay of Pigs: 40 Years After was an international conference and reunion in Havana, Cuba, 22-24 March 2001. It was held shortly before the 40th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

The conference was co-sponsored by Universidad de La Habana (University of Havana), Centro de Estudios sobre Estados Unidos, Instituto de Historia de Cuba, Centro de Investigaciones Históricas de la Seguridad del Estado; Centro de Estudios sobre America, and the US-based National Security Archive. It commenced on Thursday 22 March 2001, at the Hotel Palco, Palacio de las Convenciones (), La Habana.

On 24 March, following the formal conference, many of the delegates and observers travelled by road to Australia sugar mill, Playa Larga, and Playa Girón, the site of the initial landing in the invasion. A documentary film was made of that trip, titled Cuba: The 40 Years War, released on DVD in 2002.
