And so we face Castros Cuba as one of the largest prisons of humanity in modern times. Less than 10 years after Castro emerged from the hills and marched his way to power. over 1 million of his fellow citizens had escaped to the free world.

Quiet. terrified. and devoid of hope. they flooded into Key West as the unwilling messengers of Cuban tyranny. In the meantime.
