‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR MAY 3, 2019–A MILLION CUBANS MARCH ON MAY DAY, IN SUPPORT OF WORKERS AND AGAINST EXPANDED U.S. BLOCKADE AND SANCTIONS. PLUS MORE REPORTS FROM CUBA


For this show, we are in Havana, Cuba, where millions of Cubans celebrated May Day in support of workers and against the expanded United States economic blockade and sanctions. The May 1 celebration occurred as representatives meeting here from around the world stood in solidarity with the government of Venezuela as it defeated an attempted coup and they denounced the U.S. for military, economic and other actions to destabilize sovereign countries around the globe. Also, more reports from different locations in Cuba and Cuban professor and government official Rafael Hidalgo offers a crisp analysis of U.S. illegal aggression toward Venezuela. Plus headlines.
