FMI Public Speaker Series - Mary O'Grady
Channel: Free Market Institute
Date: 21/09/2021

Since taking power in 1959 the communist regime in Cuba has excelled at only two things: Repression and Propaganda. Everything else, from healthcare and education to racial equality and economic development has been a bust. Fidel Castro was a narcissistic sociopath who lived a life of luxury while Cubans suffered dire privation. 
 
Why most Americans don't know any of this is a testament to six decades of skillful control of the narrative from Havana with a lot of help from American journalists and academics. Now a crack in the facade is bringing the whole thing down. Where does Cuba go from here?

The Free Market Institute welcomed Mary Anastasia O’Grady, Editorial Board Member and author of the “Americas” column for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭, to present an FMI Public Speaker Series lecture on September 16, 2021, co-sponsored by the TTU College of Media & Communication and Liberty Fund, Inc.
