- Description
- Contains three sheets. Images of schoolboys practicing military-style marches at the new school built on former military base at Camp Columbia, renamed Ciudad Libertad. Camp Columbia had been the principal military operations and intelligence depot for the dictator Fulgencio Batista's national army. For this reason, Fidel Castro chose the base as the site from which to make his first speech of triumph to the nation upon his troops' arrival in Havana on the night of January 8, 1959. Camp Columbia was renamed Ciudad Libertad after the founding of the school and it became the first of many army barracks and bases that the government re-crafted as schools in the next several years. Ironically, as the images show, the system of education and cultural values instilled by school programs (such as daily assembly) were highly militarized. See also Prints 2, 6, 9, 32, 33, and 36.
