To replace the missing hand, the Spaniards imported African slaves for the arduous work of harvesting the sugar cane. The African presence gave place to blend between white and black. One of the objectives of the Cuban revolution of 1959 that brought Fidel Castro to power is the cause of the total elimination of racism in Cuba. It’s not known if this intention has been achieved, but Nicola Guillen, as the national poet of the Revolution, embraced his goals]]> 2017-10-12 14:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/clucio2018/etocd9k2c6gn/wish/196466501 https://padlet.com/clucio2018/etocd9k2c6gn/wish/196466968 Author: Nicolas Guillen

One grandfather is white, and the other is black. The two have completely different routes they must take. The white grandfather has had an easy journey compared to the black grandfather suffering through the Slave Trade. The black grandfather was very strong willed and showed it when he embraced the white grandfather]]> 2017-10-12 15:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/clucio2018/etocd9k2c6gn/wish/196475174 https://padlet.com/clucio2018/etocd9k2c6gn/wish/196660581 1. You think the mix of races is positive for a pluralistic society?
Do you think that one day he United States will be composed only of mestizo people?
-  I think it is good for mix races to be in a plural society so the people can teach each other different things. 
- I think the United States could be composed of only mestizo people since they want to come to the United States to start something  new. 

2.Would you marry a person of another race?
- Yes I would marry some one with a different race because you can love someones personality.

Some ways it shows the white grandfather as a conqueror is mentioning the slave ships approaching and the mention of the whips they used. By mentioning this we know that the white grandfather was involved with the slave trade
