The two struggles have continued for decades, even centuries. Cubans fight to end slavery; gain independence from Spain and the United States; and, for 60 years, protect their socialist revolution. Ruling classes in the United States, meanwhile, sought to annex Cuba, then to control its economy, and for those 60 years have clamped down on the audacity of Cubans who struggle for independence and socialism.
For almost as long, justice-seeking peoples in the United States have joined in the struggle to defend Cuban independence and/or Cuba’s revolution. This report from Maine takes note of two rainy day rallies on July 25, each of 25 or so people and each one held in protest of the U.S. blockade of Cuba. One was in Bangor, the other in Brunswick.
