OMAHA, Neb. — Eighteen people attended a barbecue here July 13 to build support and raise money for the fight to free the Cuban Five. Mariloliz Perez, 28, a teaching assistant who learned about the Five in May, hosted the event and displayed copies of prison paintings by Antonio Guerrero along the front of her house. “These are our brothers,” she told participants, six of whom were learning about the Five for the first time. “Three of them are still in jail, including the man who painted this beautiful art. We have to get them out, and you need to help.” Participants contributed $119 to help cover expenses of recent exhibits of Guerrero’s paintings.
