The Historic Military Defeat of Racist

South Africa in Angola

Nothing beats Cuba’s historic role in defeating apartheid South Africa’s army in Angola: some 450,000 Cubans volunteered to join that 15-year effort (over 2,000 of whom lost their lives).

Nelson Mandela– visiting Cuba first after his liberation from prison– put it like this: “What other country has such a history of selfless behavior as Cuba has shown for the people of Africa?”

Please join us to learn more about and celebrate this historic event – and to support and send off the 10 Chicagoland folks going to Cuba as part of the International May Day Brigade.
