I wonder if anyone ever told Pres. Obama she was an accomplished dancer in the US who returned to Cuba and stayed after the revolution.

She made the Ballet Nacional de Cuba one of the most well-known ballets in the world. Amazing. She's a fantastic woman.

Returning later when everything is quieter to hear the speech.

So cool knowing Barrack Obama has repeated former President Jimmy Carter's opportunity to speak live by tv, radio, etc. to the whole country at once. Wonderful!

Thanks for providing this link.
