Cuba: What Now, What's Next-- Find Out at the Library, May 6, at 1 p.m.!

Cuba: What Now, What’s Next?

The U. S. and Cuba have waged a “cold war of the Caribbean” for nearly half a century. But a change to this political and economic stalemate seems imminent.

Please join several Chabot faculty and other recent travelers to Fidel Castro’s island for a “Report on Cuba” in the Chabot Library, Room 107 A and B, Wednesday May 6 from 1 to 3 p.m.

Chabot historian Rick Moniz has led 18 trips to Castro’s tropic of socialism, most recently over this semester’s Spring Break.

Moniz and members of the Spring Break delegation will discuss their experiences, reflect on recent political developments and share their stories and photos.

All Chabot faculty, staff and students are invited to attend and take part in a Q & A.
