The Cuban 5 have always been in my heart, from the inception when they were put in prison…I contacted a group in Philadelphia , the Answer Coalition and they sent me literature about them and a t-shirt with the 5 images on the front…I attended a conference in Toronto, Canada and a friend N. R. asked me to take part in a radio interview he did with History Professor Gerald Horne from the University of Houston, Texas, this live broadcast took place at ‘A different booklist’ bookstore on Bathurst Street in Toronto…I drove down there from Guelph, Ontario where I was staying and sat in at ‘A different Booklist’ for the Horne interview, while in the bookstore I had on the t-shirt of the Cuban 5 and the owners of the bookstore asked me about them and they said they were going to try to get materials about them…
Why I’m mentioning this I feel like I may have brought some awareness to their plight and lots of people kept asking me who were the Cuban 5 because of that t-shirt…
Sincerely,
