    With the 1992 US blockade against Cuba, an ecumenical organization, Pastors for Peace sponsored Friendshipment caravans in the US and Canada to deliver medical supplies and other humanitarian aid to Cuba. Caravan routes extended across 140 North American cities, from Canada down to Laredo, Texas where the supplies were escorted across the border into Mexico for shipment to Cuba. This pin presumably represents the New York branch of the U.S. Cuba Friendshipment Committee effort.
    Description
    A teal pin with two red abstract human figures embracing over the silhouette of Cuba at the center. Black text along the upper curve reads [NEW YORK – CUBA FRIENDSHIPMENT COMMITTEE] and the lower curve reads [PEOPLE’S FOREIGN POLICY FOR A NEW UNDERSTANDING]. A central yellow circle with images of vehicles surrounds the abstract red human figures. The outer hand of each human figure extends beyond the yellow circle. [U.S.-CUBA] is written between the embrace in yellow block text with a white shadow. An image of Cuba in white with a yellow outline is featured between the two figures.
    The manufacture’s mark is printed on the underside of the button in black ink.

    A black and white photograph of Cab Calloway performing with his band at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba. Calloway is pictured just left of center, in profile turned towards his proper right, his right hand raised and blurred as if in motion. His left hand holds a microphone stand, tilted so the microphone is near his turned face. He wears a plaid tuxedo jacket with white shirt, dark pants and bow tie, and white pocket square. Directly behind Calloway is an upright bass, the face of the player only partially visible behind Calloway's shoulder. Another man stands behind the bass. To the right of him is a drummer, Panama Francis, seated at a white drumkit with "CC" on the large bass drum at the front. The two visible musicians both wear dark colored suit jackets, patterned neck ties, and white pocket squares. To the left is a grand piano, the bench and player out of frame. Behind Calloway's band is an orchestra seated at paneled stands with a logo marking resembling "JM" or "NM." In the background is a striped curtain. There are no inscriptions or markings, front or back.

    Description
    Two handwritten depositions from a court case, Valdec v. Gravier in Kingston, Jamaica. Document a is Nicholas Charles Van Eeckhout’s deposition and b is a deposition given by an unidentified person with the surname of Gravier who appears to be the defendant. It appears that Doctor M. Joubert sold an enslaved woman, Zaire to Marie Anne Valdec when the British entered Port-au-Prince, Haiti during the Haitian Revolution. After this English invasion, it seems that Zaire went missing. She may have been sold to an American Captain who took her to Jamaica, or she may have ended up in Havana, Cuba.
    The two statements given on these documents relate to the same events however the accounts of the events differ.
    The first document (a) is signed at the bottom by Nicholas Charles Van Eeckhout. The back of the document has the filing notes for the case, entitled [Valdec v Gravier]. The subject matter [Deporting] is written alongside these two names. The papers were filed February 8, 1811 by Martin Gordon.
    The second document (b) is signed by the unknown individual with last name Gravier.
    Both documents are torn vertically down the middle and an additional piece of paper has been added to the back of each document as support. These missing portions leave out large gaps of writing in the depositions. The ink from the documents has also bled over time, which has expanded the script. Both documents are very frail.
