Brown Bag Lecture Series

Presents:

Arlene Scadron: Cuba/U.S. Relations

Time: Tuesday, May 15, 12 Noon

Place: UN Center/UNICEF Store,

6242 E Speedway, in Monterey Village ( SW corner of Wilmot & Speedway)

Please join us for 2012's fifth free Brown Bag Lunch.

In May, 2011, journalism professor Arlene Scadron spent two weeks in Cuba. Her talk, which includes slides she took of four UNESCO world heritage sites, sugar and tobacco plantations, schools, clinics and other scenes of everyday Cuban life, will give insight into this neighbor we know so little about.

Scadron's presentation will also include an overview of Cuban/U.S. relations before and after the 1959 revolution that brought Castro to power as well as the impact of Cuban exiles on our political system and the status of Guantanamo Bay prisoners. She will talk about the future of the relationship between our countries and the possibility of establishing new, mutually beneficial ties.

Bring a lunch. We will provide coffee, tea and snacks.

If you have questions, call

UN Center/UNICEF at 881-7060.
