Some blacks applaud Castro legacy of racial equality

Some African Americans are remembering late Cuban President Fidel Castro and his efforts to end racial segregation on the Caribbean island following the country’s 1959 revolution.

But Fidel Castro’s death and uncertainty about Trump’s plans could affect that timeline, the person said. The only mention of the exiles on Good Morning America, on Monday, was in a brief by reporter Tom Llamas who said, “While Cuba has been subdued since Castro’s death, Miami’s little Havana saw a weekend of celebrations”.

“It’s a monumental day of great historic relevance with Miami being the epicenter of the Cuban American community and American’s hub for the region”, said Ralph Lopez, AA’s vice president for its Miami hub.

Trudeau did not meet with Fidel Castro during his official visit two weeks ago.

They say they were amazed by the architecture, but surprised by other parts of Cuban life.

Castro’s victory march snaked from Santiago, where the revolution was launched, through rural towns and cities. Many Cubans were given time off from work to attend the memorial and virtually all schools and government offices were closing for the homage to Castro, which will stretch for 13 hours on Monday and take place again on Tuesday, ending in a rally echoing those that Castro addressed on the plaza for most of his time in power.

Castro’s ashes were expected to be on display at Revolution Square but have instead been kept elsewhere.

“It is building bridges, people to people”, Baum said.

The people of Cuba walked through the square’s memorial to national hero Jose Marti on Monday and filed past photographs of Castro, Xinhua news agency reported.

“I’m sure that behind the faces of those humble men and women, after the moment has passed and they return home, their minds return to the vast heap of worries each of them carries”, he said. His death has raised questions about the significance of his passing. Cuba made improvements in health and education, though many of these gains were undermined by extended periods of economic hardship and by repressive policies.

However, Cuba’s leader right now, Fidel Castro’s brother Raul Castro has been trying to mend diplomatic relations with the United States government.

“A lot of these areas are probably poorer today than they were then”, LeoGrande said.

Emilio Fernandez was born in The Dominican Republic after his family fled Cuba.

To speed up the tribute, the organizers installed three identical points, formed by white flowers, the image of Fidel Castro and his military decorations.

When that world power made a decision to impose a damaging trade embargo on the tiny island nation, not many were surprised.

Eire, a professor of history and religion who arrived from Cuba at the age of 11, finds himself in an apparent minority of professors when it comes to judging Castro’s legacy.

Outside the gates of the embassy, on Washington’s 16th Street almost two miles north of the White House, a makeshift memorial has grown since Castro’s death late Friday. “Now, it will be a caravan of sadness”.
