Craig Pittman's Welcome to Florida: Early Cuban exiles 5-7-22

Early Cuban exiles

Before the famous Mariel Boat Lift, 600,000 Cuban exiles immigrated to Florida following Fidel Castro's rise to power in Cuba in 1959. David Powell sought out these immigrants and allowed them to tell their stories in their own words. The result is his fascinating book "Ninety Miles and a Lifetime Away: Memories of Early Cuban Exiles." #stpetecatalyst #welcometoflorida #craigpittman #cubanexiles #esciles #stpete #tampabay #radio #radiostpete
