Fidel Castro is dead? Good, but the damage is done – by Marianne Murciano

A personal commentary for the Chicago Tribune by Marianne Murciano.

Because I was born in Cuba, just about everyone I know has been asking for my thoughts about Fidel Castro’s death. So much has been said already. As a journalist, I try to stay as objective as possible when I’m asked about Cuba. But news of Castro’s death on Friday was an emotional bombshell, going straight to the heart of who I am and how I’ve grown up.

For my entire life, these were the magic words I’d been waiting for: Castro is dead.
