Question

What were the emotions of the people living in Cuba during, and after the Cuban Revolution.

Answer 1

It's a measure of how much Cubans are engaged with sort of everyday problems and not as much their revolutionary history, as they have been in the past, that you don't see ... flags hanging from the street," Wiessenstein says. "You don't see people celebrating or going to events."

Still, the day continues to hold special resonance for many Cubans, as it has for decades. Dr. Andy Gomez, a retired academic who was a senior fellow in Cuban studies at the University of Miami, talks to NPR's Arun Rath about what July 26 means for many.
