Scope and content

Photographs show events relevant to Cubans and Cuban Americans in the Miami area during 1980. The collection captures pre-Mariel street rallies and demonstrations in support of the mass exodus from Cuba. Included are street scenes, rallies, a hunger strike, Miami mayor Maurice Ferre addressing a public gathering of Cuban exiles and a parade along S. W. 27th Avenue and 8th Street.

Photographs also include two Cuban festivals: Jose Marti parade along Bayfront Park and Three-Kings parade along S. W. 8th street, both in January 1980. A small number of photographs depicting “Tent City,” the makeshift housing facility for Mariel refugees, and ground shots along S. W. 7th and 8th Streets.
