This photograph shows a large building which is part of Havana's public square, which was originally called la Plaza Cívica (Civic Square), but after the Cuban Revolution was renamed "Plaza de la Revolución" or "Revolution Square." The large tower is a memorial to Jose Marti, which was erected during the Presidency of Fulgencio Batista. The square and the memorial were completed in 1959, the year that Fidel Castro came to power. This picture includes many vehicles of the 1950. In front of the building are two billboards. The billboard on the right is a political ad for, then president Batista. It reads "Paz, Trabajo, progreso" - meaning "Peace, Work and Progress."
The 109 m (358 ft) tower, designed by a team of architects led by Enrique Luis Varela, is in the form of a five-pointed star, encased in grey Cuban marble from the Isla de la Juventud.

Résumé : International audience
Off road wheelchair riding, a “ hiking boots” : body experience and identity reconfigurations. Feel sensations during the practice of nature sport is not new. However, a disabled person feels similar sensations to an abled person, through access to the mountain with an Off Road Wheelchair Riding (ORWC), is part of a normalization process. This activity appeared in France in the early 1990’s. It allows people who have lost all or part of their mobility, to be able to access to high mountains. The interviewees are quadriplegic and paraplegic after an accident. Their speeches reveal the body uses in ORWC for reliving the sensations in mountain environment. The reconquest of natural areas is the social limitations to overcome, to escape a negative social assignment of the disabled person, but also to regain a self-identity.
La question de l’expérience corporelle lors d’une pratique sportive de pleine nature est récurrente. Cependant, qu’une personne handicapée expérimente sensations similaires à un individu « valide », en accédant à la montagne en Fauteuil Tout Terrain (FFT), participe d’un processus de normalisation. Cette activité, apparue en France au début des années 1990, permet aux personnes qui ont perdu la totalité ou une partie de leur mobilité, d’accéder à la haute montagne. Les enquêtés, accidentés tétraplégiques ou paraplégiques, révèlent des usages du corps en FTT pour revivre des sensations en milieu montagnard. La reconquête des espaces naturels représente les limites sociales à surmonter permettant d’échapper à une assignation sociale négative de la personne handicapée, mais également de reconstituer une identité à soi.
