Cuba 1963: a nation grappling with the legacy of inequities between rich and poor, city and country. In 1959, Cuba’s new government inherited a land in which 89% of families in the countryside didn’t have milk to drink, 45% of school-age children didn’t attend school, and the vast majority of families in the remote and mountainous regions had no health care at all.
