Cuban Americans gather in Tampa to call on Biden Administration to end U.S. embargo on Cuba Dr. Graham Sowa speaks to the group before the caravan began on Sunday. More than two dozen citizens gathered in West Tampa on Sunday to call for an end to the U.S. economic blockade of Cuba. After gathering in MacFarlane Park in West Tampa, the group then drove in a caravan to Ybor City before departing for DeSoto Park in Pinellas County, all part of what was billed as the “Bridges of Love Caravan.” “The blockade against Cuba that is done by the United States, in the names of the citizens, is illegal and immoral,” declared Graham Sowa, a Brandon-based physician who attended the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana. ”We’re not here to take a political position of whether what’s happening in Cuba is right or wrong. We’re here as Americans, saying that we will not starve people into submission in our name.”
