The U.S. Postal Service announced yesterday that it is honoring Cuban music legend Celia Cruz with a 2011 commemorative stamp.
Celia Cruz will forever be remembered for her artistic genius and for her unwavering commitment to the freedom of the Cuban people.
Due to this commitment, she was never allowed to return to Cuba by the Castro regime, even to attend her mother's funeral.
Yet, as a poignant tribute once noted, fifty years from now Cuban history books will show a very short mention of Fidel Castro as "a corrupt politician who lived in the times of Celia Cruz."
