I don’t know how anyone could forget their family heritage especially if they were proud of it. The pride and joy of my family’s heritage comes from my family member Perucho Figueredo, who wrote Cuba’s national anthem, “El Himno de Bayamo”, in 1867.
Many years ago, when my Grandma was an immigrant from Cuba and encountered hardships on her journey to the land of the free. My Grandma’s side was related to Perucho Figueredo. My Grandma’s father’s side of the family moved to Cuba from Spain and France. His side spent only two generations in Cuba. In contrast my Grandma’s mother’s side lived many generations in Cuba. Five years before my Grandma was born Fidel Castro came to power. He promised equality, but instead of being elected, Castro
