it was darn hot (was in july or august, sometime in the 1980's) !!! The Airline company was Branif (?) or something like that, they had orange (?) 747's I never made it into Dallas, the closest was when we had to take another flight in Fort Worth, didn't have much time, I did go outside a few minutes. The JFKA keeps amazing me every day, on memorabilia : someone got me a keychain, don't have a clue where it came from otherwise (he didn't either, some estate-sale), there's a bunch of them out there, probably sold thousands of them in tourist shops in Dallas. Thank you for the link to that website, has some great pictures ! I would have gone for "The Fourth Shell Museum" or something like that (the backroom would be empty, just one shell on a table in the middle displaying "The Fourth Shell"), no pictures allowed ! Wow, what a name "JFK Assassination Information Center". Already awed by the TSBD (at the time, the view primarily) we passed. He asked if we'd like to take the tour, of the back room with more documents and pictures for I think a couple of bucks. I remember a man several years older than I at the time. I bought the bumper sticker at the Center on my first trip to the TSBD (I'd passed it many times) somewhere in the early 90's, I think from one of them. The last two passed in 93' and 91' respectively. Gary Shaw, Dallas researcher Larry Howard and Bud Fensterwald. That was run by Cleburne Texas researcher J. At the end in smaller print: JFK Assassination Information Center, West End Marketplace, Dallas Tx. It says simply "Who Killed JFK", white with large black print. Possibly my favorite piece of memorabilia is the bumper sticker on the wall behind me. Texas Monthly Magazine Oswald's Ghost cover (November 1983): Gregory Curtis: : Books Looking online for it all I find is this. I thought I had a copy of D magazine from the second anniversary headlined Oswald's Ghost. The resolution recognises the sovereignty of the Cuban people and their right to determine their own destiny free from outside interference.Maybe I'll dig into this box on the shelf to my left that I've not been into in at least a couple of years tomorrow or Monday. It’s time to end the blockade and let the working people of Cuba decide and determine their own future.”Īt ITF’s 43rd Congress in Sofia in 2014, the ITF committed to playing its part in promoting cooperation and engagement with Cuba and in seeking an end to the embargo of Cuba. The ITF wholeheartedly supports people’s fundamental right to freedom of assembly, association and peaceful protest.Įdgar Diaz, ITF Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Secretary said: “The ITF and its 20 million transport workers around the world support the Cuban trade union movement and say, “hands off Cuba”. “The ITF calls for national, regional and international reconciliation and cooperation to end the trade blockade and resolve the economic, political, social and health crisis that is being forced upon the working people of Cuba,” said Crumlin. At the same time, Cuba has deployed and continues to develop vaccines and other coronavirus drugs that remain under embargo, with dire consequences on its economy and global fight for vaccine equality,” said Paddy Crumlin, ITF President. “Over the past months as Covid-19 cases have surged in the country, shortages of vaccines and basic medical supplies including syringes have loomed as major challenges for the island. They have done this despite the economic and trade restrictions Cuba unfairly endures. The consequences of the longstanding trade embargo have been borne on the shoulders on Cuban citizens, which has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.Ĭuban transport workers, the Cuban trade union federation, and all workers, have worked tirelessly to keep transport, the economy, society and their communities moving during this once-in-a-century crisis. The sixty-year blockade against Cuba has cost the country $130 billion since 1962 (ECLAC, 2018). The International Transport Workers’ Federation today reiterates its call to end all trade embargo, one that continues to hurt working communities across Cuba. Demonstrations and protests in Cuba have highlighted the human cost of the unjust and punitive trade blockade against the working people of Cuba.
