In the early 1960s, 14,000 exiled Cubans moved to Los Angeles and many settled in Echo Park, creating businesses, newspapers, and clubs. Known then as “Little Havana,” it was a gathering place for Cuban émigrés’ celebrations and anti-Castro protests. Still memorializing the cultural heritage of the Cuban community is the monument erected in 1976 of poet and patriot José Martí, by sculptor Sergio Lopez-Mesa (a replica is in USC’s Doheny Library).media/Barbara_Image_2.jpg2021-10-11T10:17:55-07:001976University of Southern California Libraries Special CollectionsIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted (This Rights Statement can be used only for copyrighted Items for which the organization making the Item available is the rights-holder or has been explicitly authorized by the rights-holder(s) to allow third parties to use their Work(s) for educational purposes without first obtaining permission.)34.0781593 , -118.2605574UnknownCuban California Archive, Boeckmann Center for Iberian & Latin American Studies, USC Libraries Special CollectionsCurtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e
