A New Cuban Revolution?

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Fidel Castro's Communist revolution in Cuba is now 50 years old. Though Fidel has ceded power to his younger brother Raul, there is a clear separation between the old guard and most of Cuba's younger generation. Peter Eisner is a senior correspondent for PBS's WORLDFOCUS; he joins us to discuss the three-part series, "Cuba: The Second Revolution?" which looks at how life has changed for most Cubans and what the prospects are for improved relations between the island nation and the United States.
