Cuban Americans

Cuban Americans are a community of people in the United States who were born in Cuba or have Cuban heritage. Many arrived in the U.S. fleeing political repression, economic hardship, or seeking better opportunities, especially during waves of migration such as after the 1959 Cuban Revolution. They often maintain cultural traditions, language, and connections to Cuba, while integrating into American society. Cuban Americans are primarily found in states like Florida, with Miami being a central hub. Their experiences reflect a blend of preserving their Cuban identity and adapting to life in the U.S., contributing significantly to the nation’s cultural diversity.
