On May 6 the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego’s Balboa Park
was the setting for the opening of an exhibition of the prison paintings of
Cuban Five member Antonio Guerrero. Some of the many attendees at this
important event gathered for a group photo in the Centro’s art gallery
area following a program that focused on the struggle to free the Cuban Five,
who have been unjustly held in U.S. prisons for 13 years. In the words of
Ramsey Clark, former U.S. attorney general and founder of the International
Action Center: “The Cuban Five came here to protect their country. They
came here to prevent terrorism. The Cuban Five stand for freedom. They stand
for peace.”
The evening’s program featured talks by Gloria LaRiva of the National
Committee to Free the Cuban Five; Marjorie Cohn of the National Lawyers Guild;
several poetry and song presentations, along with solidarity messages from San
Diego Friends of Cuba, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the
International Action Center and Union del Barrio. Ramon Espinal of San Diego
Friends of Cuba and Gloria Verdieu of the International Action Center
co-chaired the meeting.
