The book, “Our Duty is to Struggle,” — documenting the 9-hour meeting of progressive intellectuals from 22 countries with Cuban leader Fidel Castro in February – was launched March 14, live from Havana, Caracas, Mexico City, Berlin, Luanda, Washington and other cities.

The book’s theme, on the urgency to struggle and save humanity and the environment, was reflected in excellent talks in Washington DC at the Cuban Interests Section by several speakers.
