I have a question for you but first, a little background.
There were two very different events in Havana on Saturday to commemorate the 41st anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
At the first, six American members of Congress, representing the Congressional Black Caucus, laid a wreath at a Cuban government-sponsored memorial dedicated to the slain civil rights leader. You can read it about in the official communist media.
At the other, Cuban civil rights activists — none of whom are likely to have been on the official guest list for the wreath-laying — gathered to remember and honor King as someone who has inspired their own struggle for freedom and justice.
"Martin Luther King was one of the great heroes who has contributed, with his ideas, to democracy in the United States, and we feel connected with him and we are using the same principles to achieve democracy in Cuba," said Juan Carlos Batista Bous.
Now the quiz: Which gathering do you think Martin Luther King Jr. would have attended?
