YES!
This bashful little girl in Havana today...her name is Ambar Hernandez...epitomizes the fact that Cuba -- on July 7th, 2022 -- is still beautiful although it has gone through many iterations since 1492 when the Spanish explorer Columbus called it "the most beautiful land these eyes have ever seen."
But the things that made Cuba unique -- its incomparable beauty, its pugnacious people, its strategic location, its shining luminosity as the largest island in the Caribbean, etc. -- also made it the most coveted prize for the world's greatest imperative powers, including most notably the nearby United States!! The great T. J. English best documented why and how the United States {as well as the Mafia} -- which dominated Cuba from 1898 till 1959 -- "Lost It to the Revolution."
But if you fast-forward from Columbus's 1492 comment, written down in his historic diary, all the way to July 7th of 2022, you will be appalled at the blaring headlines about Cuba that daily and typically spew from the United States. Those July 7-2022 headlines {above} reflect that the superpower United States and the rich Cubans in nearby Miami are still mightily trying to regain control of Cuba since they lost it to the Cuban Revolution way back on January 1st, 1959!!
This beautiful and bashful little Cuban girl in Havana, Ambar Hernandez, on July 7th-2022 perhaps says more about Cuba today than what the U. S. headlines say or even what T. J. English says.
