"A dream deferred is twice as sweet when it's realized, and I am living my life for the future not the past. But I could never forget the years I spent in prison nor forgive them; wounds heal but scars remain. In all the years I was locked up, they never made me shed a tear, not once. But now, sometimes, I cry."
Ana Rodriguez, a former political activist and a political prisoner against Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959. After 19 years in prison, she has fled to the US. She has fulfilled her dreams and completed medical school in Miami.
Long live freedom and individual rights.
