CELEBRATE THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY
CUBA’S HISTORIC DEFEAT OF RACIST SOUTH AFRICA
Nothing beats Cuba’s historic role in defeating apartheid South Africa’s army in Angola: some 450,000 Cubans volunteered to join that 15-year effort (over 2,000 of whom lost their lives).
Nelson Mandela– visiting Cuba first after his liberation from prison– put it like this: “What other country has such a history of selfless behavior as Cuba has shown for the people of Africa?”
PLEASE JOIN US TO LEARN MORE ABOUT AND CELEBRATE THIS HISTORIC EVENT – AND TO SUPPORT AND SEND OFF THE 10 CHICAGOLAND FOLKS GOING TO CUBA AS PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL MAY DAY BRIGADE.
