Viola? Music to my ears. Maybe 'voila' is what you are after but it's as relevant and as accurate as the rest of your claims. Literacy isn't your strong point.
Now go back and read up on American history, from slavery to the Jim Crow years, and America's generally brilliant record on race relations - you still have a racial supremacist in the WH - the Vietnam War, Iraq and of course Watergate, Kent State and so on, and get back to me.
Smh
American history has nothing to do with the purpose of the Literacy Campaign.

It does if you are saying the bad things Cuba has done cancel out the good things it has done, like improving literacy. Because America has done plenty of bad things in its history. By the same argument as is levelled here at Cuba, the bad cancels out the good.
If Cuba improved the ability of its people to read and write, its wider political objectives don't reduce the merits of achieving widespread literacy. Just like achieving improved literacy in American schools for African-Americans isn't made into a bad thing because of the previous fact of slavery.
