MAURICE BISHOP ... A gigantic leader
One more time we remember our great revolutionary, Maurice Bishop, whose life was snuffed out at the tender age of 39 years while still in the prime of his life and poised to make the biggest contribution of his political life.
More US activists face harassment from authorities upon return from Cuba I magine, in the so-called greatest democracy in the world, it has become commonplace or even routine to harass, terrorize and even threaten its own citizens for visiting a country the government is intent on crushing.
According to the May 8th edition of the Peoples Dispatch online publication, days after members of a youth delegation were detained when returning to the US from Cuba, another batch of activists who were also on the island as part of the May Day Brigade, faced similar harassment.
