For Afro-Cubans it’s not that easy, if they attempt to achieve Civil Rights through a Civil Rights movement there will be complete chaos. The government, as far as they are concerned, thinks that the issue of racism is over just because of the speech Castro gave in the mid-late 1960s. So if a movement is attempted the government will feel threatened and will attack. When African-Americans sought to gain Civil Rights the southern government fought and did all it could to try and prevent it, the same thing would happen in Cuba except instead of it being just half of the country’s government it will be the whole country’s government trying to shut them
This Black thought revolutionary response to Eurocentric attitudes of African and Black people. Stereotypes have been designed to reshape African history and its impact on civilization, tracing back to the Greek. These stereotypes have distorted and made African history very vague, giving a sense of entitlement to others. Scholars have used this as a tool to deny African contribution to modern civilization, omitting the fact that all human civilization has been impacted by Africa from millions of years ago. This gave a sense of entitlement to Europeans claiming there to be no African impact on Greece civilization.

Jose Marti also distrusted US intentions. Jose Marti thought that US economic predominance created a state of dependency in Latin American countries on US capital as in the case of the US Treaty with Mexico which left Mexico increasingly dependent on US manufactured goods. Consequently, this would infringe on the independence of Latin American countries whereby in exchange for economic aid Latin American countries had to submit to the demands of the US in an attempt to gain such aid. In opposition to US economic predominance Jose Marti suggested that Latin America should be unified as a ‘spiritual nation’ so that Cuba and Puerto Rico both wanted autonomy and independence from their mother countries. Two outstanding figures that aided them in achieving this were Jose Marti in Cuba and Luis Munoz Rivera.
These deprivations prevent Cubans from living the kind of life that everyone values causing vulnerability to illness, and economic disparities. The society of Cuba is one with a long history of economic, social and political growth and decline. From a reliance on sugar cane as a vital commodity the Cuban society highly values sugar as its largest export and as a means to a higher standard of living. In the early 1960’s Che Guevara attempted to convert Cuba into an industrialized state, however results were disastrous (Buckman, 2007, pg.151). Depending on Soviet Union subsidies as a means of finance Cuba appeared to be an independent, self-sufficient, growing economy providing many necessary services most countries cannot afford, such as free education, free health care, and free housing.
Asses Che Guevara’s role in the Cuban Revolution Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara played a critical role within the Cuban Revolution as his significant contributions extended not only to politics but also many other aspects of society. Che’s strong passionate political ideologies and his charismatic personality inspired and gave hope to a nation previously under oppression. This allowed for this great leader to emerge becoming the face of the revolution and also a globally iconic symbol of revolution. Key contributions by Che that lead to great politic and historical change forever in Cuban society was involvement in the July 26th movement. From emerging from the failed movement saw the rise of a strong friendship with Fidel Castro.
The Thirteenth Amendment provided for the abolition of slavery and involuntary servitude, except as a proper punishment for criminal conviction. There have been some questions as to whether the Thirteenth Amendment was only meant to abolish slavery and involuntary servitude per se or whether it was also meant to rid the country of the “incidents of slavery.” Records of the congressional debates during 1864 and 1865 lend credence to the belief that proponents of the Amendment saw its purpose as more than simply abolishing slavery and indentured servitude. The legislators wanted to protect African American’s rights such as the freedom to contract, to sue, to be a party to a suit, and to inherit, purchase, lease, and sell property. They realized that the forms of discrimination, such as refusing to sell property to newly freed African Americans, could be prohibited and that the Thirteenth Amendment was the tool that could be used to protect certain rights of
Compared to the relatively easy access of property at the beginning of his life, when Anthony Johnson died, his property was seized by the government because he was considered to be an outsider due to the color of his skin. Thus, as slavery proceeded further in time in the American political and economic system, racism followed. It was not the other way around. Therefore, since it is known that racism was not a direct link to slavery, it must be argued that the only logical cause of racism, then, was a globalization mentality that was held by colonists and the British. The fact that the Spanish, the main competitors of the British, were

ESSAY “The right to rebellion is at the very root of Cuban existence as a nation… but I do not fear prison, as I do not fear the miserable tyrant who took the lives of the seventy of my comrades. Condemn me. It does not matter. History will absolve me.” A quote from Fidel Castro’s eminent speech “History Will Absolve Me”. The social, economic and political growth and development of the Cuban society under the leadership of Fidel Castro, was solely attributed to the Marxist-Leninist ideology of non-capitalism, socialist transformation up to the 1970s and international relations along with economic assistance from the Soviet Union.
