U.S. President Barack Obama and the Cuban President Raul Castro announced on December 17, 2014 the decision to normalize diplomatic ties between the USA and Cuba. This major historical moment needs to be contemplated. Particularly for the world, the new Latin America, for Africa, and for all people of African descent.

Cuba’s revolutionary record has been one of unconditinal support for African people globally. Including military assistance supporting the African independence movement, asylum for Black freedom fighters in the U.S., selfless international dispatching of personnel for basic human needs like healthcare and literacy.

How might things change under this new political disposition?
