The U.S. State Department’s latest report on Cuba revives allegations against U.S. solidarity activists that were made by the FBI and CIA in the 1960s and 1970s — claims historian Teishan Latner says were never proven. In this interview with Belly of the Beast journalist Yohan Rodríguez, Latner discusses the history of U.S.-Cuba solidarity, the Venceremos Brigade, the Black Panther Party and growing pressure on people in the U.S. who oppose Washington’s policy toward Cuba. He also examines whether the report is helping lay the groundwork for military action against Cuba. #cuba
