Please join us to explore these and other questions with 5 leading 
voices from Cuba. *All events start at 6 pm. *(Only one registration is 
needed for the series; use the same Zoom code each week.)

*May 4: *From the Perspective of a Poet and Writer – *Nancy Morejón*

*May 11: *From the Perspective of the Next Generation -- *David Faya 
*and *Isabel Rodriguez*

Each week will start with a short presentation, followed by plenty of 
time for questions and dialogue. The discussion will be moderated by 
Cole Harrison (Massachusetts Peace Action), Sandra Levinson (Center for 
Cuban Studies), and Gloria Caballero (Latin American Solidarity 
Coalition of W. Mass)

Like the rest of the world, Havana and Cuba have just completed the 
first full year of Covid 19.  It has done so with the full force of the 
U.S. embargo on its neck, including additional measures enacted by the 
Trump administration and so far not modified or removed by the Biden 
administration.  What has Havana been like the past year?  What is it 
like now? What have been the major challenges and achievements?
