A ‘Cuban from Minnesota’ tells her story
Marisella Veiga, her siblings and mother fled Cuba on Dec. 30, 1960, leaving their home to escape the new revolutionary government led by Fidel Castro.
Her father, Miguel, followed them to Miami, Florida, early the next year.
Five years after the Veigas’ arrival in the United States, they moved to Roseville, where they purchased a house on West Belmont Lane.
