[~= APPENDIX VENCEREMOS BRIGADE The Venceremos Brigade (VR) has been publicly described as a group of American volunteers traveling to Cuba, at the invitation of the Cuban Government, to assist in the harvesting of sugar cane. The VB, organized in June, 1969, by a coalition of the New Left in open defiance of the United States Department of State ban on travel to Cuba, has already sponsored two contingents to Cuba. One group of over 200 Americans traveled to Cuba via Mexico in November - December, 1969, for a stay of almost two months. The second group of over 500 Americans departed by Cuban vessel at St. John’s, New Brunswick, Canada, on February 13, 1970, and returned on April 28, 1970. Venceremos translated means "we will win," a slogan of the late Che Guevera, Cuban revolutionary leader.
