One of these activities will take place on September 14
when two well-known personalities will participate in an evening event
to examine the case of the Cuban 5 and how it remains at the center of
U.S. - Cuba relations.


SPECIAL GUESTS Rafael Cancel Miranda is
a Puerto Rican independence fighter who was sentenced in 1954 to life
imprisonment in the United States for occupying, along Lolita Lebrón,
Andrés Figueroa and Irvin Flores Rodriguez, the U.S. Congress to draw
international attention about the colonial situation of Puerto Rico.
Thanks to international pressure, then President Jimmy Carter granted
them amnesty in 1979, after 25 years in prison. Cancel Miranda, is the
author of seven books and remains active in the struggle for the
independence of Puerto Rico and the freedom of Puerto Rican prisoners.
In 2006, he received from the Cuban government the Order of Jose Marti,
the highest distinction that Cuba bestows on a foreigner. Tom Hayden
was a founding member of the Students for a Democratic Society in 1961.
Currently he is a writer and editor of The Nation, he organizes,
travels, and speaks against the current wars as Founder and Director of
the Peace and Justice Resource Center in Culver City California. Hayden
served 18 years in the California legislature and has recently taught
at at Scripps College and Pitzer College in Claremont California,
Occidental College, and Harvard University's Institute of Politics.
Hayden is also the author or editor of eighteen books. The evening event will also include an update on the case and will feature musical guests.
The
fact that more well known people are lending their voice in calling for
the freedom of the Cuban 5 shows the great respect that Gerardo, Ramón,
Antonio, Fernando and René enjoy both from here in the U.S. and from
countries all over the world.
