In this article, the author tells the story of the 22-month program involving the political exodus of thousands of Cuban children to the United States in the early 1960s. Fearing communist indoctrination and the rumor of patria potestad--the government assuming legal guardianship of their children--Cuban parents sent their unaccompanied children to the United States with plans of reunification in the near future. In addition to providing a brief history of the program and the aftermath of the migration, Mario Minichino offers teaching strategies and resources for K-12 classrooms.
