     Fidel Castro’s ashes are set into place after nine official days of mourning.

     November 25,2016 to December 4, 2016 is the official memorial! 

Let us join hands in solidarity and cry and defy saying “Yo soy Fidel.” Castro is a founder of baseball diplomacy. He greeted Susie Maroney, an Olympic champion, for crossing from Jamaica to Cuba. 

The Party is. The Party remains. His speeches at the Plaza de Revolution liberated millions from  oppression. The historical ages in Cuba bear the names of children.

     Castro’s  ashes are placed in a mausoleum near the remains of Jose Marti another Cuban national hero. Castro died November 25,2016. He wrote daily columns about his own life. 

Castro requests not to be glorified with statutes. He is a cigar smoking Revolutionary. Leaders all over the world react to his death with dignity and honor. The Minnesota Cuba Committee films a lecture by August Nimitz at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis at Franklin and Nicollet. Exiled Cubans march and shout in America’s streets following Fidel Castro’s death. La Luce Sigue! tears, tears, tears!
