Over the years U.S. relations with Cuba have been fraught with conflict, misunderstanding, and by a lasting desire by citizens of both countries to normalize relations with peace and openness. Professor Littig will also talk about the differences between the two countries, as well as about the cultures which we share, and photos from a recent trip to Cuba.
