Miami's Little Havana named a 'national treasure'
Little Havana, the neighborhood that is the heart and soul of Miami's Cuban diaspora, was named a US "national treasure" on Friday.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a private organization, added the neighborhood to its list of sites it believes should be protected from developers, saying in a statement that it "stands as a testament to the immigrant spirit that built America."
Little Havana is home to the Versailles, a historic cafe that pulses with Cuban music and sometimes offers free Cuban pastries to exiles who gather there to protest or celebrate events on their home island.
Several blocks away in Domino Park, dozens of retirees play the eponymous game amid sometimes heated political discussions every afternoon. Nearby, the city's most popular Cuban salsa club is a must-see tourist destination.

There may be Cuban Americans that are proud of this, but don't tell, color doesn't matter or something like that.
