| "End the U.S. blockade" was the chant of 800,000 people who marched in Havana October 18. The marchers condemned legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate that reinforced the U.S. trade and travel restrictions on Cuba, attacking Cuba and the rights of working people in the United States, while allowing U.S. agribusiness to pocket billions at the expense of small farmers (see statement by Socialist Workers presidential candidate James Harris.) Cuban president Fidel Castro (left) led the march along the waterfront to the U.S. Interests Section. |
