Date of Independence?

I open up my local newspaper(Ft. Worth Star-Telegram) this morning and as I am glancing through I notice: "Hispanic Heritage Month Facts" listing the independence days of how they refer to as "Hispanic" countries. Guess the date that they list for Cuba? Yes, my freedom loving brethren, Jan. 1, 1959! I quickly fired a e-mail to the internet reference site listed and informed them of the facts. I do not know about you, I usually cringe when they mention "Hispanic Heritage Facts or Heroes" They always list the heroes as Che Guevera, Fidel Castro, and mostly lefties. Gee, I wonder why ????
