Was grateful to speak yesterday at The People's Forum honoring the life and legacy of Fidel Castro, a man in whose shadow I grew up in, in more ways than one.

From Galleno, I began to dig into the rich revolutionary history of my roots that I was disallowed to learn as a kid. I read Fidel's speeches, enthralled and questioning. Fidel was leading me to socialism.
Years later, I honor this comrade of the revolution, for his accomplishments and his flaws, as a full human being. Finding him was a key moment in my political development and in my personal rediscovery of my roots and homeland. And like many around the world, I am thankful for Fidel.
