  In order to tell these people&apos;s stories, it takes a lot of time and lot of details to do so. &nbsp;Would you like to see these more in depth interviews or would you prefer the normal exploration and more surface level content? As we speak, I&apos;m currently making videos about the hispanic barrios/communities in Chicago and soon New York. &nbsp;Blessings!

  This should be taught in school!!! My favorite spanish professor in college in 1976 was a Cuban refugee. &nbsp;When she and her husband fled Cuba, they left behind their whole family, their home, and her husband&apos;s pharmacy business. &nbsp;Later, when I was a teacher in 1996, I had a 2nd grade student who came from Cuba on a small boat. &nbsp;He remembered sharks circling the boat.

  🇨🇦❤👍🇨🇺🇺🇸I worked with a Cuban Guy in Fort McMurray Alberta Canada his Name was Elio he told me he was in the Cuban Military on his day off he used some hand grenades to catch fish. The military caught him and punished him by shipping him off to Angola to fight in the war over there in the mid 1970s. When he got back to Cuba he said the Military had taught them how to build a Boat. So him and 2 other Friends built a Boat in 3 different sections in 3 different Towns. Then they met in one location and assembled the Boat and sailed off to the United States. They had Sharks Swimming around their Boat on their Voyage to the United States He has Never gone Back to Cuba.🇨🇺

  I left Cruces, Cuba in 1966 at age 4 with my mother. We settled in Traverse City, MI. One year later, I was reunited with my father. This was impossible without the help of my uncle who worked at the state hospital as a psychiatric doctor in Traverse City. Me and my family later settled in Grand Rapids, MI where the American dream started and to this day, continues. I was fortunate enough to return to Traverse City and build my dream house on the shores of Lake Michigan. Two years ago, we purchased our vacation property in Miami Beach. Only in this great country can these dreams be realized. God bless the United States!
