On this day, in 1955, the Central Intelligence Agency launched the Bay of Pigs Invasion against the Revolutionary government of Cuba and its citizens. The military and the proud people of Cuba were able to fend of the illegal imperialist attempt to subvert their Revolution and continue to build a Socialist state, while enduring ongoing sanctions and terrorism from the Capitalist Forces of the West.
We must remember to celebrate the victories of the oppressed, and the failures of the oppressors; just as we must critically review the failures and shortfalls of our Revolutionary Pan-Africanist struggle.
Viva Cuba!
