In 2010, Cuba's then-President Raúl Castro offered to compensate American citizens for property expropriated during the 1959 revolution, through an independent valuation, paid over 20 years. Jamaica's then-Prime Minister Bruce Golding delivered the offer to the US State Department. America never responded. This video examines the $1.9 billion in certified US claims against Cuba, the 1903 Guantanamo Bay lease that pays Cuba $4,085 per year for 45 square miles of military territory, and the structural double standard between America's pursuit of Cuban property claims and its dismissal of CARICOM's slavery reparations case. Sources include the US Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, the CARICOM Ten Point Plan for Reparatory Justice, the Helms-Burton Act, and the verified transcript of Bruce Golding's account of his 2010 meeting with Raúl Castro.
