Episode 13
In this week's episode, we talk about the mojito, which has ties to the dark history of Cuba, involving the genocide of the Taino Arawaks and the slavery of Africans on sugar cane plantations. Unfortunately, the mojito continues to be a symbol of racism in Cuba as it differentiates the residents from the white tourists. While you enjoy this beverage, be conscientious of its background and let it fuel your desire to fight for equality and recognize the rights and entitlements of native communities across the world.
