Harlem rally

"Viva Fidel!"

by Monica Moorehead

Over 300 people attended a spirited rally at St. Ambrose Church in Harlem
in New York City to celebrate the 80th birthday of President Fidel Castro
of Cuba and to express solidarity with the Cuban revolution. The audience
was predominantly Black and Latin@.

The Cuba Solidarity Network, the Patrice Lumumba Coalition and the December
12th Movement sponsored the rally. Long-time activists Nellie Hester Bailey
and Rosemari Mealy moderated the program.

Following numerous solidarity messages, talks and spoken word presentations,
a large birthday cake with 80 lit candles was brought to the stage and
everyone sang happy birthday to Fidel. The First Deputy to the Cuban Mission
at the UN, Héctor Ramírez, thanked everyone for coming out to display love
and respect for the Cuban leader, who is still recuperating from stomach
surgery.
