Résumé : (Ownership) Received by the Rubenstein Library as a gift from Holly Ackerman in 2009. Photographed by Sergio Lastres.
In December 1994, a public monument, called the Liberty Column, was inaugurated in Miami commemorating the journey and suffering of Cuban rafters. Designed by sculptor Enzo Gallo, the statue consists of hands raised to the sky and a round marble column set in a fountain. It is located at Bay Front Park in Miami in front of the Hotel Intercontinental. The statue was vandalized in 2004 and restored by Cuban-American sculptor Marc Andries Smit. The plaque beside the monument reads, “Since 1959, thousands of Cubans have perished anonymously while fleeing tyranny in small boats and makeshift rafts although their names, like martyred refugees of other nations, are written solely on the pages of the sea, this column is a permanent testimony of the human need to be free.”

Since the photographer simply labeled this picture "Cuba" it is difficult to locate where this photograph was taken. The picture shows an older styled building with a large courtyard. There are several visitors throughout, which are dressed in the typical dress of the period.

It is located in the Plaza de la Catedral, in Old Havana and known in Spanish as la Catedral de San Cristóbal. Construction on the cathedral began in 1748 by the Jesuits, and was completed 29 years later by the Franciscans. The architectural style is known as "Cuban Baroque" and includes two large bell towers and many inlaid columns. Today it is a major tourist attraction in Havana.
