Venceremos Brigade
In 2004, the 35th Anniversary Contingent of the Venceremos Brigade arrived in Santiago de Cuba on July 4, for a week of work, meetings and travel in the eastern part of Cuba. In Santiago they stayed at the Abel Santamaria School, where they helped to renovate the school building, as well asmone other school in the province. Among their activities have been meetings with members of the Women's Federation of Cuba and with Cuban veterans who fought against Apartheid South Africa; Brigade members been named welcomed as "Distinguished Visitors" by Santiago city officials.
"I would like to demonstrate to the Cuban people that there are Americans, inside our borders, who like them and with them, stand up against U.S. bullying," says Tom Whitney, a 68 year old doctor and a leader of a local group called Let Cuba Live in Maine[2].
