00:03:40We are the narrators of this film.
00:03:45What does it mean to you to be a black student at Yale University?
00:03:50Um, I find that question very difficult to answer.
00:03:54Are you mad? I mean, you know, what are you doing?
00:03:57I'm very, I'm very angry. I'm very angry and lonely.
00:04:08I did feel like an outcast at Yale.
00:04:13On the one hand, I have the community of color that I was raised in, which is very working class.
00:04:24As I would walk around campus, I never at all identified as being part of Yale,
00:04:29even though I was in Yale's power and privilege.
00:04:33I had a certain anxiety, I guess I would say, you know, being a person of color too,
00:04:38being black and all mixed race and going to Yale and also the class issues of not having been trained
00:04:45in elitist kind of Ivy institutions.
00:04:51I found Yale to be a place that was really exciting intellectually,
00:04:55but I felt sometimes that the institution is not for me as a person of color,
00:05:01as a person from a middle class background, single parent background.
00:05:05I mean, it's a, it's a place that's for the production of the elite.
00:05:08It's for the, the, the future CEOs and the future senators and presidents
00:05:13and Supreme Court justices.
00:05:15come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come...
00:05:20hey, get on up to that chair.
00:05:29Who go type for love, who go type for love, who go type for love,
00:05:32who come, baby, why don't you change the song?
00:05:36O que você faz?
00:05:37O que você faz?
00:05:40O que você faz?
00:05:42O que você faz?
00:05:45O que você faz?
00:05:46O que você faz?
00:05:49Você enda building up a lot of cash.
00:05:52E eu vi que a sua board
00:05:53ampliou para você por esse sucesso.
00:06:14Eu nunca vi em este país.
00:06:19Tive que em alguns senses
00:06:20me sentia alienado
00:06:22às vezes da instituição.
00:06:45A CIDADE NO BRASIL
00:07:09A CIDADE NO BRASIL
00:07:36A CIDADE NO BRASIL
00:07:41included my school, my church, my family, my mom, and my godmother
00:07:50worked very hard paying next month's tuition bill.
00:07:54And I just sort of constantly feel that disconnect here.
00:08:01I was one of two or three black grad students in residence
00:08:06in the history department.
00:08:10I was at a reception towards the end of the year
00:08:14and I looked around the room and I looked at the porches on the walls
00:08:20and I thought, I've got to get out of here.
00:08:23And it was just sort of this, and I still don't have the words for it,
00:08:27but at that moment it was so oppressive, the extent that there was nobody here or there then for me
00:08:33to talk to.
00:08:35And it wasn't that there wasn't anybody black for me to talk to.
00:08:38There was nobody there who was interested in what I was doing.
00:08:42It's difficult to know, I think in this day and age, how to be political.
00:08:47You feel like you're on the one hand, you know, in solidarity with movements of resistance,
00:08:53but on the other hand so clearly in a position that makes you at least tangentially complicit in a lot
00:08:58of stuff that's going on in the world.
00:09:02Why are you staying?
00:09:04Um, I'm staying because, you know, it's almost, I feel a need, you know, to stay here and get that
00:09:17degree because I think that's very important.
00:09:19Um, I'm also staying here, you know, because I like school. I like my work.
00:09:27There's some people who would say that, um, that Yale simply doesn't prepare you to cope with black reality.
00:09:35Um, and?
00:09:40Um, and that you are actually becoming not educated, but miseducated or whitewashed.
00:09:45I think that's, that's, I see that as rhetoric almost, you know, that you can educate yourself on campus without,
00:09:56without going to class.
00:09:58I mean, you cook up tutorials to do what you want to do.
00:10:02I mean, people here are not feeding you stuff. They're not feeding you knowledge.
00:10:07I think that's a general misconception that people hold to, you know, you do what you want to do, place
00:10:14forward to you that freedom.
00:10:15My experience at Yale has been that if I hadn't been in the African American Studies department, perhaps I would
00:10:21have felt like an outcast.
00:10:22But I didn't because, um, the department very much became a home.
00:10:28African American Studies is also known as Black Studies, Africana Studies, and African Diaspora Studies.
00:10:42It's an academic discipline that focuses on the history, culture, and politics of communities of African descent.
00:10:58Beginning with the third world strike at San Francisco State College in 1968,
00:11:04coalitions of students, teachers, and community members demanded the hiring of African American professors and classes that reflected the experiences
00:11:13of people of color.
00:11:16The education that third world people need is one that sees the dignity and the worth and the pride of
00:11:21the people from which they come.
00:11:22And they enable us to, in turn, go back to our communities, increase and develop the level of consciousness of
00:11:30our people,
00:11:30and why they live in poverty, and why, uh, uh, uh, racism is continuing.
00:11:35The mainstay of keeping third world people forward.
00:11:39In the name of the people of the state, immediately to the state.
00:11:43We are the people! We are the people! We are the people! We are the people!
00:11:49That is not politically informed at its roots.
00:11:53As far as research-driven, quote, traditional liberal arts kind of program, that's what Yale has in African American Studies.
00:12:00That trajectory is very different from, say, those programs that were started with students with shotguns in their hands.
00:12:08Literally armed struggle. They have a legacy of a different kind of practice of African American Studies.
00:12:16Agora, para o que é melhor, isso é para você decidir.
00:12:26Eu me ajudei a um ponto que eu não podia viver o resto de minha vida como um ativista,
00:12:30porque é muito gruelo emocionante, físicamente.
00:12:35Eu trabalhei como ativista com essa organização de Pastores for Peace.
00:12:39Its motto é a people's foreign policy.
00:12:42We would organize humanitarian aid caravans
00:12:45to Chiapas and Nicaragua and El Salvador and Cuba.
00:12:49I loved that work.
00:12:50I wanted to make a contribution in some other way.
00:12:54My interest in sort of protest politics
00:12:59and the interest that I shared with other graduate students
00:13:02led me to found this Black Resistance Reading Group.
00:13:05It's a way to get us motivated to sort of exploring works
00:13:08that were about anti-colonialism or anti-racist politics.
00:13:13I think this was an opportunity for us, you know,
00:13:15people who are like-minded,
00:13:17to exercise some agency over our education, you know.
00:13:21We had a diversity of people and classes
00:13:24and colors and politics within our group.
00:13:27But at the same time, I felt like we were all,
00:13:29in some kind of odd way,
00:13:31feeling alienated for similar reasons.
00:13:36In Black communities around the world,
00:13:38reading groups have continued the knowledge-sharing tradition
00:13:41that began with slavery.
00:13:44Revolutionary Africans would meet secretly
00:13:46to learn each other's languages,
00:13:48teach each other to read,
00:13:49and develop resistance strategies.
00:13:52They can be sort of formal,
00:13:54like the legendary Dark Tower of Harlem,
00:13:57hosted by haircare heiress A'Lelia Walker.
00:14:01Reading groups can also be grassroots,
00:14:03like the Black Panther Party's political education classes.
00:14:08The way we look at struggle is that
00:14:11this depends on the educational thing you did.
00:14:14You understand what I'm saying?
00:14:14With no education, you have neo-colonialism
00:14:16instead of colonialism,
00:14:17like you got in Africa now,
00:14:20like you got in Haiti.
00:14:22So what we're talking about is there has to be
00:14:24an educational program.
00:14:25That's very important.
00:14:27As a matter of fact,
00:14:27we are so important for us
00:14:28that a person has to go through six weeks
00:14:29of our political education
00:14:31before he can consider himself a member of the party,
00:14:33able to even run down ideology for the party.
00:14:35Why?
00:14:36Because if they don't have an education,
00:14:38then no way.
00:14:39You dig what I'm saying?
00:14:40The reading group initially started off fairly diffuse.
00:14:44There wasn't a particular theme beyond resistance,
00:14:46and that we wanted it to be a global,
00:14:49that we weren't just talking about the United States,
00:14:51they were talking about the diaspora.
00:14:52A diaspora is a community of people
00:14:55who remain connected,
00:14:56although they had been dispersed from their homeland
00:14:58due to forces outside of their control.
00:15:01The African diaspora names a worldwide community
00:15:05of millions who claim African heritage
00:15:07and deal with the everyday reality of anti-black racism.
00:15:11I got interested in diasporic issues
00:15:14when I went to Oxford.
00:15:16Foxfeeds! Foxfeeds!
00:15:18Education should be free!
00:15:20I met a lot of black people from around the world,
00:15:22Caribbean and West Africa most predominantly.
00:15:26And I realized that African American issues
00:15:29weren't the only game in town, basically.
00:15:32It was through our discussions
00:15:33that I really began thinking about Cuba again.
00:15:36It's like, you know, Cuba is a revolutionary country,
00:15:39and it's a socialist country, and it's a black country.
00:15:41The rest of us had probably more latent interest
00:15:45and less experience with Cuba,
00:15:46but were intrigued by it.
00:15:50I think one of my earliest recollections of Cuba
00:15:54was reading some of the speeches of Malcolm X,
00:15:57I think by any means necessary.
00:15:59In one of those collections,
00:16:01there's talk about Castro's visit to Harlem, 1960.
00:16:13Remember that in those days when I came here first,
00:16:16those were the days of the Cold War.
00:16:18The revolution was practically a newborn.
00:16:24That was in the year 1960.
00:16:30Injustice was obvious, discrimination was obvious to me.
00:16:35I knew that here I would have the heart
00:16:38of the neighbors of Harlem.
00:16:43We have shed our blood.
00:16:48We have shed our blood
00:16:50to fight against colonialism
00:16:53and to defay the independence.
00:17:04Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live
00:17:08in that totalitarian darkness.
00:17:10They are the focus of evil in the modern world.
00:17:14My early understandings of communism growing up in the 1980s,
00:17:18when the Cold War and anti-communism was so pervasive in popular culture.
00:17:24You tell your guys in Miami,
00:17:26your friend,
00:17:28it'd be a pleasure.
00:17:29I kill a communist for fun.
00:17:33And understanding communism as being something evil.
00:17:36You don't stop this fight.
00:17:38No matter what.
00:17:45We move from that into reading about the relationship between Malcolm and Castro
00:17:50and also Patrice Lumumba,
00:17:52all that kind of wrapped up together,
00:17:53starting to offer kind of an alternative
00:17:55to these other understandings of what communism might be about
00:17:59or what a socialist society might be about.
00:18:18Socialism is an alternative to capitalism.
00:18:20It aims to develop relatively equal power relations in a society.
00:18:33Communism is a form of socialism.
00:18:36It simply endorses the public collective ownership of things like factories,
00:18:41technologies and natural resources.
00:19:04It's also part of our struggle to see the amenities of life in the 20th century
00:19:11reach our people.
00:19:13You know, Mr. President,
00:19:14that we're very, very far from achieving the goal of raising those standards of living
00:19:20for which, without which, the struggle for independence is not enough.
00:19:26Our friend Angela.
00:19:37I can envision no more profound honor for a communist than to be considered a part of an educational system
00:19:47which puts knowledge, science and reason at the service of humanity's material and spiritual well-being.
00:19:57That is not only to be able to understand the world, but to apply that knowledge in changing it.
00:20:07The idea came up as, we should take a field trip.
00:20:11And sort of the ridiculousness of equating Cuba, thinking of Cuba as a field trip.
00:20:16But we were completely serious.
00:20:18Once we started to discuss it, to me it kind of clicked as in, of course I want to go
00:20:24to Cuba.
00:20:25It just seemed like a logical next step for this reading group.
00:20:29To move from the sort of theoretical into really seeing how black resistance is lived.
00:20:36Increased the number of people.
00:20:38Oh, I see what you're going to do.
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:41Gotta get used to it. I'm just playing with the camera.
00:20:43We understood ourselves as going almost as emissaries, you know, from, yeah, African American Studies.
00:20:49And that we kind of represented a larger group of people who may have wanted to go, but were not
00:20:53able to go.
00:20:55The video would probably be most important as an educational tool.
00:21:03How does Cuba impact our, our thinking about the variety of different things, you know.
00:21:08Just what's really lacking out there is just dialogue and people talking, like sort of off the cuff about Cuba.
00:21:15I think it's important to kind of talk a little bit about the process of actually getting ready to go.
00:21:20So a lot of obstacles.
00:21:21The U.S. government's economic embargo bans Americans from freely traveling to Cuba.
00:21:28There are some exceptions for researchers, students, journalists, artists, and Cuban Americans.
00:21:38The U.S. remains the only country in the world to have any restrictions on trade or travel to Cuba.
00:21:44We wanted initially to raise enough money to have all of our expenses funded for the whole group.
00:21:51And that began to seem like something that would be impossible.
00:21:55Each of us going to the discretionary funds of our separate departments outside of African American Studies and asking for
00:22:01monies.
00:22:03The money thing was a huge obstacle.
00:22:05And it was a constant reminder of the kind of antagonistic space we were in at Yale.
00:22:11There are a lot of pots of money around the campus, but they're more for, we discovered, planning conferences or
00:22:18bringing speakers to campus or things like that.
00:22:21And not sending a group of students off to a forbidden country to explore socialism and radical black politics.
00:22:31Even while I was participating, I was kind of like, this ain't gonna work. This ain't gonna work.
00:22:36It's like, we don't have the money, you know? And it's true. It's like, they did not, people were not
00:22:41forthcoming with money for this trip.
00:22:44And there's some surprising people that you would think would be supporting.
00:22:47But Robin was very clear that we were gonna do it and it was gonna happen.
00:22:52We were able to throw some fundraisers, you know, we had a film festival.
00:22:57And we also just asked like every little organization, fiefdom, whatever at Yale that we could for some money.
00:23:06And we were able to cobble together enough funding.
00:23:08There was never a sense of, these are the people that have funding and can go to Cuba and these
00:23:12are the people that can't.
00:23:13It was very much a sort of community ethos of, well, what's the point of me being able to go
00:23:19if, you know, this other person can't go?
00:23:23And how, you know, how much of a conflict is that if we proclaim to be interested in, you know,
00:23:32a socialist society and visiting and participating in that experiment?
00:23:37Who packed up the bag?
00:23:40Everything's in there.
00:23:41We got all the Radio Shack stuff?
00:23:42Everything's in there.
00:23:42So the topic was 1968 to 2002, are we still radicals, right?
00:23:48Well, every single one of these panelists was basically saying, yes, I'm still a radical.
00:23:51This one woman said that just her being one of the 1.5% of black tenured faculty at Oberlin,
00:23:59she is a radical.
00:24:01Oh, please.
00:24:01And I was like, okay, let me see what she's doing with this.
00:24:03And she goes, just me being that 1.5%, being part of that 1.5% of the faculty who
00:24:09goes into a board meeting or goes into a department meeting, I am being a radical.
00:24:15And I was like, okay, so that means that Clarence Thomas is being a radical by going to a Supreme
00:24:18Court and Colin Clower being radical and Condoleezza Rice?
00:24:21I was like, that's some bullshit.
00:24:23And everybody in the audience was head nodding.
00:24:25Like, I was like, okay, these are all conservative black folks right here.
00:24:28So, Theresa, you were going to tell us something about your parents?
00:24:31My father, he's kind of like a quasi-intellectual.
00:24:36He taught math for many years.
00:24:38He's extremely well-read.
00:24:40He watches like five different newscasts.
00:24:43One summer vacation, we went to Myrtle Beach, North Carolina.
00:24:48And while everybody else was out on the beach, having a good time, like throwing the frisbee, my father made
00:24:55us sit and watch the Iran-Contra hearings.
00:25:00But it was designed to be kept a secret from the American people.
00:25:07I think that growing up in that environment makes me question things.
00:25:12And I think that's a really important link in terms of how people become politicized or think about politics.
00:25:19Because you were telling us about how having Baden radicalized you in a number of ways.
00:25:24Oh yeah, being a parent has really radicalized me.
00:25:26You know, being a parent has really radicalized me.
00:25:28To me, at the heart of revolutionary struggle is a concern for the conditions in which we socially raise our
00:25:37children and our future generations.
00:25:39I don't think that revolutionary struggle is just something that one does for themselves.
00:25:47And we're on our way to Cuba. Are you excited?
00:25:50Do you believe it? Of course I'm excited.
00:25:54Cuba means a lot to me.
00:25:56It's very mythological.
00:25:59I want to show solidarity with the Cuban people. I'm very proud of the Cuban people.
00:26:06I feel like Cuba's a piece in the puzzle. A missing link.
00:26:21I'm already inspired. I haven't left the air for them.
00:26:39Day one, first impressions. No corporate restaurant chains. No strip malls. No McDonalds or any of that.
00:26:49Completely changes. Just the physical landscape is stunning.
00:26:53I remember being very struck. All the billboards that you would see, and there weren't that many, but they were
00:26:58talking about history and the nation's history.
00:27:01And you could say they were propagandistic, but they seemed to me to be much more valuable than, like, you
00:27:06know, advertisements for Bacardi rum or Absolute Vodka or something like that.
00:27:16All right, so good morning.
00:27:18Nice to meet you.
00:27:19And I'm sorry because of the rain in there. And so we're going to have rain here the whole day.
00:27:23But we were praying to have rain because we are in the middle of our crisis here. We were praying
00:27:30too much. Probably that's why.
00:27:33All right, so we're going to be going through the program so that you can know what is going on.
00:27:40I know that this is important for the Afro-American people and also for Cuba because, you know, the link
00:27:49between Malcolm X and Fidel Castro and our revolution.
00:27:52We always maintain the hopes that this nation could be possible. This is the opportunity for you to get it
00:28:04clarified about our revolution.
00:28:26I am a professor of Caribbean history. Cuba is a Caribbean country.
00:28:35The Caribbean is a very controversial region. The definition of Caribbean is not only a geographical definition. It's an ideological
00:28:51definition, an historical definition. This is more important.
00:28:59But the similarities are made by the colonialism.
00:29:08Colonialism is a practice of domination, which involves the subjugation of one people by another. This domination increases economic gain
00:29:16and political power.
00:29:18Most of the indigenous people. Most of the indigenous people of Cuba were Arawak or Guanahata Bay. They fought against
00:29:25Christopher Columbus, Diego Velasquez, and other representatives of Spain's elite.
00:29:32The Spanish colonizers used advanced military weaponry and professional troops. This regime also developed an arbitrarily violent criminal justice system,
00:29:42which disproportionately punished indigenous people.
00:29:47The vast majority of the indigenous people of Cuba died or were marginalized within a hundred years of Columbus arrival.
00:29:56Spain's takeover of Cuba, along with the subjugation of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, gave Spain a political and economic monopoly
00:30:03in the Caribbean.
00:30:06The lack of environmental regulations and trade restrictions allow for the Cuban elite to form two lucrative interdependent enterprises. Industrial
00:30:17agriculture and slave labor.
00:30:21Slavery is a system where people are treated as property and forced to work. It exists for the purposes of
00:30:27lowering labor costs and increasing profits.
00:30:34Between 1511 and 1865, nearly one million Africans were kidnapped, sold as if they were property, and forced to work
00:30:43in Cuba as slaves.
00:30:46Cuba became the largest slave-importing colony in the Caribbean.
00:30:55Cuban plantation owners constructed homes and slave quarters so that laborers were under surveillance at all times.
00:31:02They were forced to live in barracones, which are walled-in villages where men and women are separated with a
00:31:08courtyard.
00:31:11Those who tried to escape were dismembered or hunted down by slave hunters called ranchiadores.
00:31:29In spite of the risk, Cuban slaves frequently disrupted the authority of plantation owners.
00:31:36They organized armed revolts and lived in maroon communities of escaped slaves that raided plantations, destroyed property, and liberated other
00:31:45slaves.
00:31:53This is the monument for the maroons that escaped from their slave masters that used to live in this area.
00:32:02All this area was covered by woods.
00:32:04And this is like a symbol, praying for their God to help them.
00:32:09And so in that way they have like this big cathedral.
00:32:12It was like smoke coming out of the cathedral.
00:32:17And then that smoke, it was like a sort of guidance for where to go and where not, in order
00:32:23to continue.
00:32:24They took the food.
00:32:25It's like a symbol, let's say Yahshua.
00:32:27Talk.
00:32:29This is intense because there are so few monuments in the world to struggle with the horror of slavery, but
00:32:35also the struggle against slavery.
00:32:36E ter esse monumento aqui, que é um símbolo de essa resistência,
00:32:41que é parte dessa cidade, dessa comunidade,
00:32:44que foi construída por causa da luta da Revolução, da Revolução da Revolução,
00:32:48para ver essas duas coisas juntas,
00:32:49muito juntas em uma memória histórica,
00:32:53mas também em uma realidade de viver.
00:32:55E ver essas duas coisas juntas é intensa,
00:32:57e também é espiritual, porque nós estamos aqui na montaña,
00:33:00nessa vália, e você pode sentir a unidade da natureza.
00:33:05E é intensa, e se sente bem.

00:33:39Cubans também engajaram em resistência cultural,
00:33:41usando a música, dança, folktale, religião,

00:34:5530 anos, os cubanos estavam lutando 30 anos
00:35:02para obter a independência.
00:35:25Emperialismo é um sistema de domínio,
00:35:28em que um país exerce o poder sobre o outro,
00:35:31através de sessão, política, militação,
00:35:34ou direitos mecanismos de control.
00:35:47O patriota que começou a guerra, Carlos Manuel de Céspedes,
00:35:56ele libertou seus escravos,
00:35:59para que eles lutassem em situação igual,
00:36:03como cidadão, para obter a independência.
00:36:08E a maioria das pessoas,
00:36:10no final da guerra,
00:36:12foram homens negros.
00:36:14Por exemplo, Antonio Maceo é o paradigma,
00:36:18porque ele é o maior.
00:36:35O país de guerra em 1898,
00:36:38para ganhar o imperialismo sobre Cuba.
00:36:42Em muitas escolas americanas,
00:36:44nós aprendemos a chamar esse conflito
00:36:45a guerra de espanso-americanos.
00:36:46Em Cuba, eles chamam isso a U.S. intervenção
00:36:49sobre Cuba's guerra de independência.
00:36:53A resultado da guerra,
00:36:55o U.S. conseguiu a domínio sobre Cuba,
00:36:58as well as Puerto Rico, Guam,
00:37:02and the Philippines.
00:37:09President of the Republic of Cuba,
00:37:11Tomás Estralafalma.
00:37:12Eu estou falando de 1902.
00:37:15Quando ele foi escolhido como presidente de Cuba,
00:37:17ele decidiu representar a população americana
00:37:20do nosso país e não o Cuba.
00:37:22Por isso, nós consideramos ele como um traitor.
00:37:24E por isso, nós ainda temos uma base,
00:37:27o Guantánamo militar base.
00:37:29Ele foi o que decidiu fazer uma amenda,
00:37:31que é chamada a Black Amenda,
00:37:33que permitiu o governo americano
00:37:35ter uma base de militares.
00:37:43Política de corrupção é o abuso de poder
00:37:46de policiais por privada de ganha.
00:37:49No séculoตico,
00:37:51nossos Estados Unidos instalou
00:37:52e apoiu os governos blegados do por asemós.
00:37:59Afinal,
00:38:09seus países
00:38:10esses municípios
00:38:13que tod these ingredientes
00:38:16будем aumentando.
00:38:17O que são três
00:38:18Compras de 40% de associação cubana, quase todos os cato rancos, 90% de associações minerais e minerais, 80
00:38:28% de associações, e praticamente toda a ação de associação.
00:38:33Com o apoio dos militares e apoio econômico, esses líderes supressam movimentos sociais e rebeliões que iriam opostar a sua
00:38:40corrupção.
00:38:51While African-Americans were rising up, Cubans began their own revolution.
00:38:56A coalition of students, workers, farmers and armed forces called the July 26th Movement used nonviolent, civil disobedience and guerrilla
00:39:06warfare to combat the corrupt Batista regime.
00:39:09Os armadinhos do movimento incluíam Juan Almeida, Raul e Fidel Castro, Celia Sanchez, Che Guevara.
00:39:32So 61 martyrs.
00:39:34E, these are some of those that were applied to this group of men, as well as some tools
00:39:39that were used for torturing.
00:39:42And many persons that had nothing to do with this action were tortured here as well.
00:39:58Depois de anos de organização e sangue, Batista e seus apoiadores derrubaram.
00:40:09Os líderes desse movimento levam o poder sobre o governo Cubano no 1, 1, 1959.
00:40:25A CIDADE NO BRASIL
00:40:26Once they came into power, they started to make changes U.S. elites didn't like.
00:40:31The new government ended private education, nationalized private property, and made racial discrimination illegal.
00:40:52A CIDADE NO BRASIL
00:40:53What was it like?
00:40:55Anything.
00:40:59I really feel like this is our revolution, you know?
00:41:02I feel like this is more than just a revolution in Cuba.
00:41:04I really feel like it's the revolution of a lot of principles.
00:41:07Just the fact that now it's a school, you know?
00:41:09And seeing the children come up and down the way they've kept those principles alive.
00:41:13I wanna go back to the States, and help bring some life to this idea of revolution.
00:41:19e tentar imbure-se com uma forma de que a revolução é possível.
00:41:23Isso é algo que eu estou comendo com esse espaço.
00:41:25A revolução é algo que pode ser feito e que pode ser sustentado em um dia de dia.
00:41:31Isso é algo que eu realmente me sinto que é uma das nossas comunidades.
00:41:36E eu estou realmente orgulhendo de estar aqui no lugar.
00:41:40E eu acho que há uma verdadeira razão por que essa blockade
00:41:44é tentando não só obstruir a política e econômica entre os Estados Unidos e Cuba,
00:41:52mas também tentando a nossa comunidade e a nossa comunidade
00:41:56de vir ver esse espírito de resistência,
00:41:59que as pessoas realmente acreditam em algo tão solid e tão forte
00:42:02que eles colocam suas vidas no caminho e dedicam-se a justiça e a mudança social.
00:42:09A espírito em que o embargo foi criado
00:42:11foi realmente um tento de completamente isolar Cuba
00:42:14as muito possível.
00:42:16Durante a 1950s e 60s, quando a comunidade era crescendo,
00:42:20quando a União Soviética era um super-pouro,
00:42:24e Fidel Castro estava ganhando poder,
00:42:27Cuba começou a nationalizar muitas empresas de US na Cuba.
00:42:31Isso acreditava os Estados Unidos,
00:42:33e então o que isso resultou em
00:42:34foi um completo econômico, comercial e financeiro embargo contra Cuba.
00:42:40Considerando que o embargo só se o líder cubano abraça a democracia,
00:42:44e o presidente oferece esta lista de demandas.
00:42:46Free political prisoners,
00:42:48allow opposition parties organizar e falar freely,
00:42:51hold competitiva na Assembleia de Nascimento no ano,
00:42:54international monitors,
00:42:55allow a national referenda de apoio cubano para o apoio livre e outras liberteiras.
00:43:00Então, e apenas então,
00:43:02I will explore ways with the United States Congress
00:43:05to ease economic sanctions.
00:43:15Good afternoon.
00:43:18Today,
00:43:19the United States of America
00:43:20is changing its relationship
00:43:21with the people of Cuba.
00:43:23These 50 years have shown
00:43:25that isolation has not worked.
00:43:28it's time for a new approach.
00:43:30We are taking steps
00:43:31to increase travel,
00:43:32commerce,
00:43:33and the flow of information
00:43:35to and from Cuba.
00:43:37This is fundamentally about
00:43:38freedom and openness,
00:43:41and also expresses my belief
00:43:42in the power of people-to-people engagement.
00:43:48No hay respeto
00:43:49de los derechos humanos
00:43:50por parte del gobierno cubano.
00:43:56Porque ahora mismo,
00:43:57si nosotros queremos salir a caminar
00:43:59por las calles,
00:44:01las avenidas
00:44:02de nuestra ciudad de La Habana,
00:44:04no lo podemos hacer
00:44:05porque el gobierno cubano
00:44:07tiene estas turbas
00:44:08y no nos va a permitir salir.
00:44:10Entonces,
00:44:10los derechos humanos aquí no hay.
00:44:12El gobierno los viola,
00:44:13están secuestrando.
00:44:16Over 80 people
00:44:18were arrested
00:44:19over the weekend
00:44:19at peaceful
00:44:20anti-Wall Street protests.
00:44:22They maced five women.
00:44:24The captain stepped up,
00:44:25maced their faces,
00:44:26and then tried to run away
00:44:27and avoid cameras
00:44:29that were around.
00:44:31It's not a practice
00:44:33of Amnesty International
00:44:34to compare
00:44:35one country to another
00:44:37and say,
00:44:38you know,
00:44:38country X's
00:44:39human rights record
00:44:41is much worse
00:44:42than country Y
00:44:44just because
00:44:45a violation
00:44:46is a violation
00:44:47and abuse
00:44:48is an abuse.
00:44:49The embargo
00:44:49has been in place
00:44:50for over 50 years
00:44:52and there's been
00:44:55no evidence
00:44:56that shows
00:44:57that the embargo
00:44:58has improved
00:44:59the human rights
00:45:00of either Americans
00:45:02or Cubans
00:45:03or anyone
00:45:03residing
00:45:04in both countries.
00:45:05In fact,
00:45:06Amnesty International
00:45:07research
00:45:07has shown
00:45:08quite the opposite.
00:45:09It's been
00:45:10quite detrimental
00:45:10to human rights,
00:45:12to the human rights
00:45:13of individuals
00:45:14in the United States
00:45:15and in Cuba.
00:45:17Viva Cuba Libre!
00:45:23So how does it feel
00:45:25to be standing here
00:45:26in front of Che?
00:45:27That's good.
00:45:28Hasta la victoria siempre!
00:45:30But to be it,
00:45:32the ministry of the interior
00:45:34where Che works,
00:45:36she's wearing his view.
00:45:37I'll put Che right here.
00:45:44Because that's a lot
00:45:45the most,
00:45:47the majority
00:45:48in all aspects,
00:45:50the people who
00:45:52with their work
00:45:53the riches,
00:45:54create the values,
00:45:56make the wheels
00:45:57of the history
00:45:58and that now
00:46:00wake up
00:46:01from the long
00:46:01dream
00:46:02of the enduring
00:46:03that they
00:46:04have been
00:46:04put on.
00:46:05Because
00:46:06this great
00:46:07humanity
00:46:07has said just
00:46:08and has put on it.
00:46:11The Cuban government
00:46:12provided support
00:46:13and solidarity
00:46:14to independence
00:46:15movements
00:46:15in Algeria,
00:46:17Angola,
00:46:18the Congo
00:46:18and South Africa.
00:46:21Medical and military
00:46:22aid from Cuba
00:46:23helped Algerian rebels
00:46:25and their children.
00:46:28Che Guevara
00:46:30and a small group
00:46:30of Afro-Cuban rebels
00:46:31helped the Congolese
00:46:33national movement's
00:46:33attempt to continue
00:46:34their struggle
00:46:35for self-determination.
00:46:37The struggle
00:46:38had been thwarted
00:46:39after the CIA
00:46:40endorsed the assassination
00:46:41of Patrice Lumumba.
00:46:52Cuba sent military
00:46:53instructors,
00:46:54special forces,
00:46:55as well as millions
00:46:56of dollars worth
00:46:56of advanced weaponry,
00:46:58which enabled Angola
00:46:59to defend itself
00:46:59against foreign occupations.
00:47:03Cuba also played
00:47:04a major role
00:47:05in the fight
00:47:06against apartheid
00:47:07in South Africa.
00:47:09Africa for us
00:47:11is part
00:47:13of our being.
00:47:17Africans were brought
00:47:18here
00:47:18and what we are
00:47:20is because
00:47:22they were brought
00:47:22here.
00:47:23In the United States,
00:47:24we usually see
00:47:26Cubans who look
00:47:26like this.
00:47:35In fact,
00:47:3760% of Cubans
00:47:38are Afro-Cubans
00:47:39who look like this.
00:47:56One difference
00:47:58about Cuba
00:47:59in terms of
00:48:01issues of race
00:48:02is that
00:48:03people
00:48:03not of
00:48:05obviously
00:48:06African descent
00:48:07could talk about
00:48:08being of
00:48:09African descent
00:48:10because they're
00:48:10in a mixed-race
00:48:11country.
00:48:12Even if you
00:48:13seem like a
00:48:13white person
00:48:14or you're read
00:48:14as a white person,
00:48:17you have been
00:48:18impacted by
00:48:19the history
00:48:20of slavery
00:48:21and all of
00:48:22the other
00:48:23migrations
00:48:24throughout the
00:48:24Caribbean
00:48:25and throughout
00:48:25the world
00:48:26into Cuba.
00:48:27So I think
00:48:28there's a kind
00:48:29of openness
00:48:30to talk about
00:48:31race,
00:48:32to talk about
00:48:32Africa,
00:48:33that there isn't
00:48:34in the United States.
00:48:35I think there's
00:48:35a kind of
00:48:36complacency
00:48:36that people
00:48:37have in
00:48:37this country
00:48:38of,
00:48:38well,
00:48:39you're white,
00:48:39you just
00:48:40wouldn't
00:48:40understand,
00:48:40or you're
00:48:41not of
00:48:41this
00:48:41experience,
00:48:42so you
00:48:42just
00:48:42wouldn't
00:48:42understand.
00:48:44One thing
00:48:45is very
00:48:45important
00:48:46is the
00:48:47feeling
00:48:47that Cubans
00:48:48have
00:48:48that we
00:48:49are closer
00:48:50to
00:48:52African-Americans
00:48:53than
00:48:54to
00:48:55Americans
00:48:56in general,
00:48:57that we
00:48:58have more
00:48:58understanding.
00:49:00Cuba
00:49:01supported
00:49:01and provided
00:49:02political
00:49:03asylum
00:49:03to several
00:49:04committed
00:49:05African-American
00:49:06activists,
00:49:07including

00:49:08and

00:49:11A political
00:49:11prisoner is
00:49:12someone who
00:49:12is prosecuted
00:49:13because of
00:49:14their political
00:49:14activism or
00:49:16because they
00:49:16committed
00:49:16politically
00:49:17motivated
00:49:18crimes.
00:49:27Robert F.
00:49:28Williams
00:49:28encouraged
00:49:29Southern
00:49:29African-Americans
00:49:30to legally
00:49:31defend
00:49:32themselves
00:49:32against
00:49:33white
00:49:33supremacist
00:49:34terrorism.
00:49:36The Negroes
00:49:37must be
00:49:37prepared
00:49:38to
00:49:39cause
00:49:40attacks,
00:49:41that they
00:49:41must be
00:49:42willing to
00:49:42fight,
00:49:43that they
00:49:43must be
00:49:44willing to
00:49:44die and
00:49:45to kill
00:49:46if necessary,
00:49:47that there
00:49:48was no law
00:49:49and no

00:51:16New Jersey
00:51:17state troopers
00:51:18on the scene
00:51:18later admitted
00:51:19that the police
00:51:20pulled over
00:51:21these activists
00:51:21because they
00:51:22were Black
00:51:22while driving
00:51:23a car with
00:51:23Vermont
00:51:24license plates.
00:51:27There was a
00:51:27confrontation
00:51:28in which
00:51:29Asada
00:51:29Shakur

00:51:39Although the
00:51:40medical experts
00:51:41at trial
00:51:41supported
00:51:42Asada's
00:51:43version of
00:51:43events,
00:51:44she was

00:51:53that she
00:51:53was framed
00:51:54for the

00:51:55Zayed
00:51:55Shakur
00:51:55and Werner
00:51:56Forrester
00:51:56because of
00:51:57her political
00:51:58activism.
00:52:01After spending
00:52:02two years
00:52:02in a
00:52:03maximum
00:52:03security
00:52:04federal
00:52:04prison,
00:52:05while in
00:52:06solitary
00:52:06confinement
00:52:07fearing she
00:52:07would be
00:52:08murdered,
00:52:08Shakur
00:52:09escaped.
00:52:10She lived
00:52:10underground
00:52:11for five
00:52:12years
00:52:12until Cuba
00:52:13granted her
00:52:14political
00:52:14asylum
00:52:15in 1984.
00:52:17What it
00:52:18was prison.
00:52:19Prison was
00:52:20hell.
00:52:21It was a
00:52:22new kind
00:52:23of plantation.
00:52:25I feel
00:52:26like a
00:52:27maroon woman.
00:52:28I feel
00:52:29like an
00:52:29escaped
00:52:30slave
00:52:31because what
00:52:32I saw
00:52:32in the
00:52:34United States
00:52:35in those
00:52:35prisons
00:52:35was slavery.
00:52:37It was
00:52:37black
00:52:37people
00:52:38with
00:52:39chains
00:52:40in
00:52:41cells.
00:52:42It was
00:52:42just
00:52:42poor
00:52:43people,
00:52:43you know,
00:52:44I mean,
00:52:44just stepped
00:52:45on and
00:52:45smashed.
00:52:46I'll never
00:52:46forget what
00:52:47I saw.
00:52:48I'll never
00:52:49forget what
00:52:49I've lived
00:52:50through.
00:52:50I'll never
00:52:50forget what
00:52:51my people
00:52:52have lived
00:52:52through.
00:52:55The FBI
00:52:56currently
00:52:56offers a
00:52:57reward for
00:52:58assistance
00:52:58with her
00:52:59capture.
00:53:01The activists
00:53:02who were
00:53:02convicted in
00:53:03the U.S.
00:53:03of helping
00:53:04us side
00:53:04with her
00:53:04escape,
00:53:05Marilyn
00:53:06Buck,
00:53:07Mutulu
00:53:07Shakur,
00:53:09Sekou
00:53:09Abdinga,
00:53:10Sylvia
00:53:11Baraldini,
00:53:12incarcerated
00:53:12or died
00:53:14in prison.
00:53:19to create
00:53:20other
00:53:20stories
00:53:21that
00:53:21are not
00:53:21the
00:53:21stories
00:53:22of
00:53:22themselves.
00:53:22Well,
00:53:22first of all,
00:53:23we have to
00:53:23investigate
00:53:24and we have to
00:53:24know each other.
00:53:26Because I was in
00:53:27the United States
00:53:28and many people
00:53:29didn't know
00:53:29that there
00:53:30were
00:53:30black people.
00:53:32So first
00:53:33we have to
00:53:33know each other
00:53:35investigate,
00:53:36to know each other.
00:53:38You understand?
00:53:39To know each other
00:53:40black people in
00:53:41Mexico,
00:53:41to know each other
00:53:42in
00:53:43Colombia,
00:53:44to know each other
00:53:44negros in
00:53:45Cuba,
00:53:46to know each other
00:53:46things common,
00:53:47how was the
00:53:48system of
00:53:49plantation,
00:53:50how was the
00:53:51colonialism,
00:53:52how was the
00:53:54economy
00:53:55for those
00:53:56negros
00:53:56after
00:53:57they
00:53:58slavery,
00:53:59how they
00:54:00lived.
00:54:01And we
00:54:02know each other
00:54:03and other
00:54:04history of
00:54:07the United States
00:54:07and the
00:54:08afro-american
00:54:09why the
00:54:11negro cuban
00:54:12feels
00:54:12cuban,
00:54:14and not
00:54:14afro-cubean,
00:54:16why in
00:54:17the United States
00:54:18they feel
00:54:19the same way.
00:54:20Uma das primeiras coisas feitas pela Revolução foi dar as mesmas oportunidades para todo mundo.
00:54:28Legalmente, foi declarado que a cor da pele, ou o gênero, ou qualquer diferença,
00:54:36não é usada para dar privilégio a diferentes pessoas.
00:54:42E há muito tempo pensamos, isso é tudo, todo problema é resolvido.
00:54:49Mas então, com o tempo, começamos a perceber que não é suficiente para dizer
00:54:55que somos o mesmo em frente à lei.
00:55:00As questões de racismo são muito atrasadas aqui para os Cubanos.
00:55:10Unidade é muito importante.
00:55:14Para os Cubanos, unidade é nosso arma para defender nosso país.
00:55:22Então, se eu começar a trazer diferenças,
00:55:27eu poderia ser considerado como tentando contra unidade.
00:55:39Eles pensam que você vai conseguir algo, porque você é branco.
00:55:42E eu falo muito sobre essas coisas.
00:55:45Eu desculpe, eu estou usando isso, mas isso me desculpe.
00:55:49Isso me desculpe.
00:55:49Isso me desculpe.
00:55:52Mas, pelo menos, eu acho que nós, branco, precisamos mudar as pessoas.
00:55:58E o outro dia, eu estava caminhando com meus amigos.
00:56:02Eu estava me perguntando para o meu ID.
00:56:04E eles perguntaram, por que você me perguntou?
00:56:06Eu me perguntaram, por que você me perguntou para o meu ID?
00:56:08Eu posso trabalhar com a família aqui em Cuba.
00:56:10Eu sou cubano.
00:56:11E eu disse, não, não, não.
00:56:11Mas você sabe por que nós estamos perguntando.
00:56:13Eu não sei por que você está perguntando para o meu ID.
00:56:15Então eu preciso saber.
00:56:16E eu disse, você sabe, você é cubano.
00:56:17E ele disse, eu dei meu ID.
00:56:20E o que você faz?
00:56:20Eu sou um tour guide e também um inglês t-shirt
00:56:24do Ministro do Porto e Trade.
00:56:26E você me diz que é só porque eu sou branco.
00:56:29E nós também precisamos educar a polícia.
00:56:33Nós precisamos educar certos aspectos dentro da sociedade.
00:56:36Eu estou falando sobre minha própria experiência.
00:56:39Talvez você tem outras pessoas que vão dizer, tipo, diferentes coisas.
00:56:43Mas eu estou dizendo sobre minha própria experiência.
00:56:45E eu acho que a maioria das pessoas se sentem da mesma forma.
00:56:48na internet.
00:57:20Algumas pessoas fazem uma brincadeira em que uma pessoa branca parece estúpida, e eu falo
00:57:26e digo, listen, isso é racismo, o que você está fazendo, e essa pessoa diz, não, eu tenho
00:57:33muitos amigos que são negros e não tem problema com isso, é apenas uma brincadeira.
00:57:50Essa pessoa não entende que ela está ensinando essa brincadeira para as crianças, e ela está
00:57:57mostrando uma maneira de entender a vida.
00:58:04Cultura, nós temos usado uma certa forma de linguagem.
00:58:08Há coisas que ficam invisíveis.
00:58:13Nós temos usado a mesma oportunidade como qualquer outro cidadão aqui em Cuba.
00:58:19Algumas pessoas têm tomado, algumas outras não.
00:58:22Algumas não têm.
00:58:24Mas eu acho que não é uma questão de ter uma oportunidade de ter uma oportunidade dentro da sociedade.
00:58:29Às vezes você encontra pessoas que falam inglês, que falam inglês.
00:58:33Você não é negros, você é branco.
00:58:36E eu digo, não, não, não, eu sou branco.
00:58:38Esse é o problema.
00:58:39Eles não querem nos reconhecer como branco.
00:58:41Eles pensam que nós não somos italianos.
00:58:43Eles pensam que eles ficam frustrados.
00:58:46Esse é um pequeno comentário que eu queria fazer.
00:58:49Eu não sei.
00:58:51Ok, prontos para comer.
00:58:54Olá! Olá! Olá! Olá!
00:58:57Olá! Olá! Olá!
00:58:59Olá! Olá!
00:59:00Olá!
00:59:16Olá!
00:59:18Olá!
00:59:22Olá!
00:59:29Olá!
00:59:30Olá45!
00:59:37Olá!
00:59:38Reflections on my whiteness, um, you know, a lot of the tourism in Havana are European
00:59:45tourists and white tourists and, you know, being here, um, I think it's really important
00:59:53and something I do, I am conscious of right now is that, um, and rightfully so, people,
01:00:00you know, probably their initial reaction to me is going to be one of skepticism or maybe
01:00:04even, even, even deeper than that, knowing what, um, or how maybe the vast majority of European
01:00:12tourists handle themselves here, their power relationship with people in, in Cuba, but people
01:00:18of color, really all over the world.
01:00:29We're at this wonderful beach resort catering to the European tourist market.
01:00:34He's playing this wonderful, how shall we say, uh, European dance music.
01:00:42I offered Tucker $20 if he could get them to play, uh, Blackstar CD, Talib Kweli and Mos Def.
01:00:50He tried it out, he's returned unsuccessful, so, looks like that wasn't really the niche they
01:00:55were going for.
01:00:56They don't have a CD player, so we're going to try some tapes.
01:01:06After the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, Cuba made some capitalist reforms that increased
01:01:12its dependence on tourism.
01:01:19Let's see if, like, the tourism and to bring the resources, if money's coming back into
01:01:25Cuban civil society and towns and are improving, and hospitals and schools and people's home
01:01:32lives, too.
01:01:32home life, I think, is improving.
01:01:34Through this, you know, people are paying whatever, $200, $250 a night to stay, whatever
01:01:38it is, to stay here.
01:01:40But if that's not being seen, this is, like, this is a potential, like, taking time of a
01:01:47route to go.
01:01:47And I'm not, I mean, I'm trying not to critique it too hard.
01:01:50I mean, I don't, I talk, I believe in socialism, but as dead press as living and breathing and
01:01:58not just fucking believe in it, we don't, on this trip, none of us, as much as, and I
01:02:02think there's a lot of people who are contemplating that, what it means to do that.
01:02:10It's a pity that, uh, in the tourist industry, when you're working with clients, you're not
01:02:15unable to take it to your homes.
01:02:17It's, it's not possible.
01:02:19But, well, if you come, some other time, and you can place them like somebody used to.
01:02:24They live in what we call serratis.
01:02:27It's, like, apartment once next to the other one.
01:02:31I was raised to be there.
01:02:34It's a poor, uh, apartment.
01:02:38My mother, she's a nurse.
01:02:40And now she's retired.
01:02:41Little by little, they started coming to the capital, looking for a better life.
01:02:46In terms of supporting the family, helping the family, it's a good time to do it now.
01:02:53It's what I want to do, like, sometimes people will think that, hey, Elham, you're going
01:02:56to do it first.
01:02:57And they say, I have to speak advantage now that I'm young.
01:03:00That's my life in a way.
01:03:02It's a lot of, uh, responsibilities that I got.
01:03:06What you're saying is really, you're saying reality to a lot of Americans or African Americans,
01:03:12you know, that, that, um, one person may go off to school and become the professional
01:03:20of their family and take care of younger cousins and siblings.
01:03:26because it's real difficult to, you know, to transition when all your family's living
01:03:31and then what people on the project just seems like a similar to you and where your family lives.
01:03:36My dream when I was a lady kid was to get into university because I remember that I saw lawyers
01:03:42with their,
01:03:42with their cars, you know, very elegant, very respected.
01:03:47You know, he's a lawyer, you know, he's a doctor, he's a teacher.
01:03:50But now, you know, opposite.
01:03:53You got, like, people working in the tourist industry, like, they make more than any other lawyer being a doctor,
01:03:59being a teacher, whatever.
01:04:00You need to change it.
01:04:01You need to prioritize good things.
01:04:03I wasn't forced, but as I said, hey, I have to do it.
01:04:07No matter what, but I love my profession as an English teacher, as a translator,
01:04:11but I need to do this because it's the only way to help.
01:04:17To, to know that, yeah, you know, I am in a social state, but I'm still wondering, you know,
01:04:24I love to acknowledge that this is here, but I feel like, really, you know, there's still, there's a little
01:04:30distress.
01:04:31Belly's hungry, you know, you need more, you know, and you need, and that means that there's some other level
01:04:38of change
01:04:39that still needs to be dealt with.
01:04:40manager, wait employees, estoy.
01:04:59Oh!'s
01:05:00okay. Paris!
01:05:02going to sit and enforce with my music here, you know? I'll
01:05:04go down like that. And just
01:05:07back up I'm cold, you know, I can't, but I know I mean I'm tired, you know,
01:05:09Então, a maneira de não me confundir, não me confundir, não me confundir.
01:05:49E uma das coisas que me enfundiu foi a sua ideia dos Estados Unidos.
01:05:56Isso me lembrou de crianças, meus coisinhos, meu pequeno irmão, crianças da região que eu cresci na Brasileira.
01:06:04Essa ideia de que há uma...
01:06:08É um alternativo American dream, em uma sensação.
01:06:12Não é como se você trabalha, você pode se puxar por sua bootstraps.
01:06:15É a sensação que vem da mídia sobre o que a vida é como nos Estados Unidos.
01:06:23E a ideia de que a vida pode ser assim para você.

01:10:10O país não quer gastar dinheiro na nossa casa porque eles são negros e negros.
01:10:16Porque eles são negros ou porque eles são pobres?
01:10:19If you look at poor whites and the poor blacks,
01:10:23poor whites have worse health care than richer whites.
01:10:27But even if you compare people on the same income level, non-whites have worse health care.
01:10:33They have less access to the system.
01:10:37We African-Americans have higher death rates for stroke, cancer, diabetes, asthma and HIV
01:10:48Acesse o que a comunidade é mais prônente de anti-alcohol.
01:11:21In Cuba, there is free public health care for everyone.
01:11:26Afro-Cubans are the healthiest black population in the Americas.
01:11:38In the U.S., there are relatively lax rules about purchasing and owning guns.
01:11:47Murder is the leading cause of death of young African-Americans since 1978.
01:11:531978!
01:12:01But while no one's race determines their desire to live, in the U.S., I'm ten times more likely
01:12:07than a white man to be a victim of homicide.
01:12:10One time.
01:12:1330 times.
01:12:15I'm nearly 30 times more likely than a white woman to be a victim of homicide.
01:12:20One time.
01:12:2330 times.
01:12:37In Cuba, there are more restrictive gun laws and less killing.
01:12:40The homicide right there is less than a third of what it is for African-Americans.
01:12:45and not-

01:13:19Os CDR se criaram em um momento difícil para nossa revolução e foram criados com o objetivo de organizar
01:13:31a todas as famílias cubanas para defender a revolução.
01:13:37E todos, tanto crianças como jovens, adolescentes e velhos, estamos enfrasados na batalha de ideias que leva o nosso país.
01:13:48E a batalha por cultura e educação, porque em um futuro não muito longe, vamos ser o país mais culto
01:13:56do mundo.
01:14:13Sou um guaguiro normal que vengo do mundo sem marrom. Sou um guaguiro normal que vengo do mundo sem marrom.
01:14:24A neighborhood association put on a performance for us and they had their children singing and dancing.
01:14:37Nós fomos convidados para a Bloc Party e foi realmente incrível.
01:14:42Como as crianças, fazendo essa grande música e dança, performance piece, não em uma comunidade de means.
01:14:50A performance é com uma luz de luz que eles desenharam dentro de uma casa, mas eles fazem isso em
01:14:56uma palestra e é incrível.
01:15:00Para nos mostrar o melhor de quem eles eram, eles nos mostraram os seus filhos e o que eles ensinam
01:15:07as crianças sobre ser cubanas e ser parte da comunidade.
01:15:14E me ocorre que dando as pessoas os recursos que eles precisam para cuidar dos outros, para cuidar dos seus
01:15:24filhos e cuidar dos seus filhos é como nós vamos sobreviver.
01:15:46Eu acho que é muito bom, mas eu acho que isso não vai ser para sempre.
01:15:49Isso vai ser por um pouco tempo.
01:15:50Porque você vai voltar muito rápido.
01:15:53E eu também espero que você tenha aprendido sobre Cuba e que você possa nos ajudar.
01:15:59Sabendo nossa realidade e sabendo como nós somos, seria ótimo.
01:16:03Se você pudesse dizer para as pessoas nos Estados Unidos como a realidade cubana.
01:16:08As coisas que você tem visto aqui por si mesmo, que não tem histórias.
01:16:14Isso é apenas algo que você tem comprado por si mesmo.
01:16:18Porque também dizem que se vê e acredita.
01:16:21E eu acho que agora você vai acreditar mais em nosso país.
01:16:32Então você não acha que os estudos de Yale são sinceros?
01:16:34Os estudos de Yale são sinceros?
01:16:37Um...
01:16:37Você acha que eles estão lá para frente?
01:16:39Eles estão lá para frente.
01:16:41Até que eles acham que eles estão lá.
01:16:44Como eles estão lá.
01:16:45Você acha que eles estão sendo líderes?
01:16:47Eles estão sendo líderes.
01:16:48Mas eu não acho que eles estão sendo líderes para vir na comunidade Black.
01:16:51Bem, onde eles estão?
01:16:52Eles podem ajudar as pessoas que estão lá agora?
01:16:55Eles podem.
01:16:56Eles podem.
01:16:57Eles podem.
01:16:57Mas eles podem.
01:16:58Mas eles podem?
01:17:00Eles podem.
01:17:00Isso é um grupo que disse que vamos tentar algo que vai ser difícil.
01:17:04Travendo a U.S. para Cuba não é fácil.
01:17:07E vamos fazer...
01:17:09Isso é nosso projeto intelectual.
01:17:10E, boom...
01:17:12Vocês vão.
01:17:14E vocês realmente fizeram a transição de ser book smart
01:17:19tentando tentar descobrir isso na terra.
01:17:22Então, isso realmente reenforçou, para mim,
01:17:24as eu pensava sobre isso,
01:17:25a ideia de que quando as pessoas dizem,
01:17:27oh, isso não vai acontecer,
01:17:28ou eles vão dizer não,
01:17:29ou eles não vão tentar, basicamente.
01:17:32Isso é uma maneira de garantir que você nunca vai conseguir algo.
01:17:35Tem muitas pessoas que estão pensando mais profundo e mais profundo
01:17:38e estão começando a ver a importância de levantar isso
01:17:42do contexto nacional.
01:17:44E a única maneira que isso pode ser feito
01:17:45é internacionalizar o problema.
01:17:48Em vez de ser chamados de direitos civis no futuro,
01:17:52nós vamos ter que chamar a luta humana direita
01:17:54ou a luta para a luta humana direita.
01:17:56É um problema mundial.
01:17:57qualquer forma de discriminação,
01:18:00incluindo racial discriminação,
01:18:01é um violão de direitos humanos.
01:18:03É para todos nós
01:18:05de realmente chamar a nossos políticos.
01:18:11A world em que todos
01:18:14podem freely aproveitar
01:18:16humana direita
01:18:17é certamente possível.
01:18:25africanos americanos
01:18:26estão no meio do
01:18:29o nosso país.
01:18:32Nós, cubanos, estamos no meio do
01:18:35o nosso trabalho também.
01:18:37Isso nos traz juntos.
01:18:40Não tem um lugar que você pode ir
01:18:42a Estados Unidos
01:18:43e ver uma comunidade pretende
01:18:44que não tem problemas de situação
01:18:47com pobreza, com drogas, com violência.
01:18:50É difícil convencer você que há outra maneira.
01:18:55Mas há outra maneira.
01:19:17Eu vengo de la loma apartando marabú
01:19:19e aqui la estou echando onde mesmo la echas tu.
