Join us as we welcome Dr. John Gronbeck-Tedesco, author of Operation Pedro Pan: The Migration of Unaccompanied Children from Castro's Cuba.
Operation Peter Pan was a program that facilitated the unprecedented migration of over 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban children to the United States between 1960 and 1962. It was driven by the fear of communist indoctrination and the loss of parental rights under the newly established Castro regime.
