Hundreds of Thousands March Through Havana Against US Blockade

HeadlineJul 26, 2000

Hundreds of thousands of people marched through Havana early today demanding an end to the US blockade against Cuba. The march coincides with the forty-seventh anniversary of the attack on an army barracks by Fidel Castro and his comrades that launched the Cuban Revolution. The rebels seized power six years later on New Year’s Day in 1959. They overthrew the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.
