OF MOURNING CONTINUE FOR
CASTRO FOLLOWING HIS DEATH.
AND LOCAL 10 IS THE ONLY
STATION WITH A CREW IN CUBA
RIGHT NOW.
>> Jenise: LET'S GO TO CALVIN
HUGHES AND HATZEL VELA, ALL OF
THEM IN HAVANA.
>> Calvin: I AM CALVIN HUGHE
HUGHES.
HIGH COLLEAGUES HATZEL VELA
AND GLENNA MILBERG.
WE ARE STEPS AWAY FROM WHERE
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE PAYING
THEIR FINAL RESPECTS TO FIDEL
MEMORIAL.
YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION AS YOU
WALK HERE, JUST INCREDIBLE THE
AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
TURNED OUT.
HATZEL, LET'S BEGIN WITH YOU.
>> Reporter: THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE HAVE TURNED OUT AND
SOME TELL US THEY HAVE BEEN
WAITING IN LINES FOR TWO HOURS
TO PAY HOMAGE TO FIDEL CASTRO
HERE ON REVOLUTIONARY PLA.
>> Calvin: CHANGE IS S
INTERESTING IN YOU OPINION
LITTLE HAVANA AND NOW HAVANA
CUBA AND YOU CAN EMPHASIZE
ENOUGH THE CON GRASS OF BOTH
WORDS GLENZ GLEN
WORDS
.
>> Reporter: TODAY AND ALWAYS.
HERE THERE ARE NO PARTIES.
A GATHERING, A COMMUNION Y'ALL
OUTPOURING NOT ONLY FOR THE
DEATH OF THEIR LEADER BUT FOR
-- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, TO
COMMIT TO THE CONTINUATION OF
THE REVOLUTION, AND I THINK
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
REALLY NEED TO TALK ABOUT AS
THE DAY GOES ON.
PEOPLE ARE BEING REQUESTED TO
MAKE A COMMITMENT TO GO BEYOND
FIDEL CASTRO.
>> Calvin: SOMETHING THAT
ELIAN GONZALEZ TALKED ABOUT ON
STATE RUN TELEVISION.
I WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO
SHOW THE FOLKS AT HOME WHAT IT
IS LIKE HERE AND TRULY AN
>> Reporter: YOU SEE THE LINE
TO EXTENDS SEVERAL BLOCKS DOWN
AND SHOW YOU THIS AREA HERE,
THE CENTRAL PART OF THE PLAZA,
AND YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE
SETTING UP HERE FOR WHAT IS
EXPECTED TO BE A MASS
GATHERING TAKING PLACE
TOMORROW AT 7:00, BUT THE MOST
IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THIS
PEOPLE.
IF YOU FOLLOW ME, YOU CAN SEE
THEY ARE ALL LINING UP, SOME
HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HOURS
JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THIS
POINT.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
>> Reporter: SHE SAID NOT ONLY
A PLEASURE TO BE HERE BUT A
COMPROMISE.
THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHAT
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE WHEN
THESE PEOPLE FEEL.
>> TO BE HERE AND TO SEE
THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING HERE TO
PAY THEIR RESPECTS.
I THINK IT IS A LOT FOR WHAT
THE ATTITUDE FOR FIDEL CASTRO
HERE IN THE COUNTRY AS WELL.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT IS SO
FASCINATING WHEN WE SEE CUBA
LARGELY IT IS IN PHOTOGRAPHS
AND VIDEOS THAT ARE APPROVED
TO BE ON THE STREETS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOODS AND TO MEET
PEOPLE WITHOUT A CAMERA I
THINK YOU GET JUST IN AMAZING
SENSE OF REAL LIFE AND REAL
THOUGHT AND WE MET PEOPLE HERE
TODAY WHOSE PASSION FOR THE
REVOLUTION IS UNDENIABLE AND
JUST A CUP OF INDIVIDUAL
STORIES ABOUT THAT.
TWO LITTLE BOYS WHO ONE OF
THEM WEARING A CROSS WHICH IS
VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE
CATHOLIC CHURCH WAS BANNED
HERE BY FIDEL UNTIL THE LAST
HAVE VISITED.
NEXT TO HIM, HIS BROTHER
WEARING A KERCHIEF FOR THE
CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION.
THAT CONTRAST WAS INTERESTING.
SOMEONE WEARING MEDAL
úSOMEONE WEARING
REVOLUTION.
MAN IN HIS 60s WHO SAID FROM
HIS VERY EARLY CHILDHOOD HE
WAS A ROUGH LOUISRY AND TALKE
WAS A ROUGH LOUISRY AND
TALKED, HATZEL, CALVIN, WHERE
ELSE, WHAT OUR COUNTRY FREE
EDUCATION A FREE MEDICINE.
HE WAS SPEAKING FROM HIS
HEART.
HE DID NOT KNOW I WAS A
REPORTER OR THAT ANYTHING
WOULD BE MADE PUBLIC AND
ALLOWED ME TO TAKE HIS
PHOTOGRAPH AND THEN HE KNEW.
BUT I THINK TO DENY THERE IS A
POPULATION WHO IS ABSOLUTELY
COMMITTED TO THIS REVOLUTION
IS SHORTSIGHTED BUT PLENTY OF
PEOPLE LOOKING TOWARD THE
FUTURE AND WHAT MORE MAY COME.
>> Calvin: CHOSEING ONE
CHAPTER WITH THE DEATH OF
FIDEL CASTRO AND THE NEXT
OF.
I WANT TO BE A CONTRARIAN, AT
FOLKS BACK AT HOM, A CUBAN
EXILE I WOULD SAY ALL OF THESE
PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO B HERE.
HAVE YOU ASKED ANYONE OF THEM
ARE YOU FORCED TO BE HERE AND
ARE YOU HERE BECAUSE YOU LOVE
FIDEL CASTRO OR SIMPLY HERE
BECAUSE YOU WERE FORCED TO BE
HERE FROM THE CUBAN GOVERNMEN
GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: THE LADY SAID MY
PLEASURE AND SHE ALMOST
STARTED BREAKING DOWN AND
EYES.
I DON'T THINK AT LEAST FOR HER
-- SHE WAS SPEAKING OUT OF
HONESTY AND NOT BEING FORCED.
>> Calvin: THIS MOMENT HERE
WILL GO ON.
THIS MEMORIAL WILL TAKE PLACE
WE ARE GOING TO BE HERE FOR
YOU TO COVER EVERY ANGLE OF
THIS STORY.
THIS STILL DEVELOPING STORY
CASTRO.
