Background Information:
Willy Gort, Sr. came to Miami before the influx of refugees that followed the Castro dictatorship.
This turned out to be most auspicious especially for the later waves of Cuban immigrants to Miami.
He uniquely contributed to the history of Miami as a photographer and later as a photojournalist for
the Diario de las Americas and other important publications. Through his art, he documented
generations of new residents as they added to the unique cultural blend that is Miami. His photographs
give insight to the struggle of a people to maintain their cultural and social structures while adapting,
embracing and leaving an indelible mark in Miami. Those who knew and loved him wish to
commemorate his gifts to the city in this manner.
