The Winds Of Change In Cuba

"Once a year or so, a team of reporters and photographers from the Miami Herald... slips into Cuba against that government's Machiavellian press restrictions, drive around the country dressed as tourists, and work as carefully and quickly as they can, talking with people about what's really going on."The Herald task's when it comes to covering Cuba is thankless. The extremists on both sides always think the coverage is slanted -because it doesn't say what they want to say.......more.....via sotp

A Racist Would Never Move To This Neighborhood
I’m A White Woman Living In A Black Neighborhood
And I’m turning into a racist because of it. I don’t say this proudly; quite the opposite: I am ashamed. But that doesn’t change what I have become. Almost two years ago, I bought a house in Bartlett Park, a predominantly black neighborhood in what we used to call the “south side” but now refer to as “Midtown”. Here I have been forced to acknowledge the racist within me. Please understand: I am not proud of this; I’m simply not willing to pretend......more...via blurbex
