MIAMI — A teary but smiling Gloria Estefan mounted the stage at the end of a march she spearheaded that drew thousands of demonstrators Thursday in Miami’s Little Havana to support Cuban dissidents.
“Thank you, Miami,” Estefan told the crowd of tens of thousands that packed the street. “We are a people united by our love for freedom. We are here with all our different flags. That is what this great country allows us to do.”
Shouting “Libertad! Libertad!” the marchers gathered in support of the Ladies in White, a group of Cuban mothers and wives of 75 dissidents arrested in a 2003 government crackdown. Last week, Ladies in White marching in Havana were harassed by pro-government groups and Cuban state security agents. The Associated Press
