Description: Top frames document a student rally on the Escalinata (entrance steps) of the University of Havana. Probably taken in November of 1959 when the university was undergoing the first phase of revolutionary reforms that would initially purge all professors with a history of batistiano allegiance from the campus and eventually end the autonomy of the university from state intervention by the fall of the following year. Fidel Castro was the featured speaker. Bottom frames show visiting French intellectuals Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre as they greet Cubans poolside at the Hotel Nacional, March 1960. See also Prints 31, 36, 38 for the student rally; for images of the Sartre and de Beauvoir visit, see also Prints 43, 44 and 47.
Provenance: Purchased from Andrew St. George in 1969 and from David C. Stone in 1970. Gift of Adolfas Mekas, 2010. Transferred from the Latin American Collection Curator, 2016.
