“Seven-year-old Orlando Miranda clung to his mother’s leg, screaming, that day in 1959 when Fidel Castro’s regime took her away.

Miranda’s father, a popular Cuban radio announcer, had fled the country because he feared government reprisals for his outspoken support of democratic ideals. Miranda’s mother was picked up simply because of her affiliation with him, he said.
