Refugees From Castro's Cuba - "Of Fish and Freedom": An Historical Account of the Cuban Refugees Received and Relieved by His Excellency, Bishop Coleman F. Carroll, in the Catholic Diocese of Miami, Florida, 1959 to 1964
Abstract
Each and everyone of us has felt fear, and each and everyone of us has known guilt, and if we haven’t we should ask for help, for these are healthy happenings when the occasion calls for them. But why, when the occasion calls for them, do we so often close our eyes to reality and wait - wait until we are forced to experience greater fear and more undeniable guilt? Why, for example don’t we recognize Cuban Refugees from Communism for what they are, flesh and blood reminders, of our own rights and responsibilities? More than 200,000 escapees are among us. The cause of the influx is only ninety miles off the Florida coast, yet we, on the whole are unaware of the significance, the impact of it.
