From Che to Castro: Life as an Organizer in Cuba

What comes to mind when you hear the word Cuba? Might it be images of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro or Hemingway smoking cigars? Or possibly images of drinking rum on a beach, classic cars and beautiful architecture. Or maybe you think of Elian Gonzalez, the Cuban Five, and the Bay of Pigs invasion. What about actual Cuban citizens who live and make their home there? In an interactive presentation, Daisy Rojas will offer a rare insight into the daily lives of Cubans in the 21st century, discuss the state of reforms under Raul Castro and share her experience as an organizer at the MLK Center.
