Revolutionary Cuba 

CheTruman State University Spring Break trip to Cuba
Coordinated by Witness for Peace and the Martin Luther King Center
March 10-18, 2018

Only 90 miles from the United States, Cuba has remained a forbidden territory for most U.S. citizens since the Revolution of 1959. Cuba is a former Spanish colony and sugar-producing slave society, and one of the last countries of Latin America to achieve independence from Spain in 1898. Between 1898 and 1959, the United States held an outsized influence on the island. In 1959, Cuban was the site of the hemisphere’s first successful socialist revolution. While most people in the United States know little about Cuba today, Cubans are acutely aware of the United States and the long intertwined history between the two countries.
