Castro and his relationship with the African Diaspora

Now that Fidel Castro officially threw in the towel today as Cuba president, everyone, including those at the White House, are on 24-hour death watch. In the meantime, I thought it would be interesting to point out some highlights from the revolutionary's life. While there are questions about how Castro handles human rights in his own country, he has always been a staunch support of civil rights for African Americans and anticolonial efforts for the diaspora worldwide. I found this article online that talks a little about this.
