1. “Well, I think if you ask them, and I didn't have a chance to, my dad didn't talk a lot about his childhood and my sense of it years later learning more about it was it was very painful. But I think at the core is they lived in a society where they felt limited. They really couldn't move forward. It was an unstable place. We forget that before Castro that was Batista and that thing was already picking up. So it's not clear to me that when they came on May 27th in 1956, their plans were to live in the United States forever. But they certainly wanted to live there for a long time. They felt it was a place for people like them would have a chance to do things that they couldn't do in their own country because they felt that they didn't come from the right family or have the right connections or the right education. So it was a combination of kind of instability that the country was going through and lack of opportunity that brought them here.”
