She gave one to each member of the council with a specifi c set of instructions. They were to each fi nd one person who was stuck in the rain and hand them their umbrella, saying only, “SGA cares about you.” The umbrella project, as Perez and her fellow representatives call it, was not an isolated event, but rather part of SGA Cares, the SGC-UP House of Representatives’ program for improving student government this year.

  • Pitbull FAN TV
    Presents PITTBULL Armando Christian Pérez (born January 15, 1981 in Miami, Florida), better known by the stage name Pitbull, is a Cuban-American rapper signed to his own label, Mr 305 Inc. His first recorded performance was on Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz album Kings of Crunk in 2002, after which he released his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004. He has since released 2006’s El Mariel, 2007’s The Boatlift and 2009’s Rebelution, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200. Pitbull’s breakout hit was the Lil Jon collabo “Culo” produced by Lil Jon & The Diaz Brothers. In addition, Pitbull has also released several mixtapes, the most recent being Unleashed Volume 6, which are mostly composed of freestyles and remixes of popular rap music. Both thematically and musically, the 25-year-old is seen as a modern-day equivalent of earlier Miami rappers such as the 2 Live Crew and Afro- Rican. It was in fact former 2 Live Crew leader Luther Campbell who gave the up and coming rapper his first chance to shine. Apart from Crunk, his album shows clear influences from both Miami bass and freestyle. In addition to his musical work, Pitbull has also been featured in The Source expressing his stance on Dictator Fidel Castro and he was also part of their Unsigned Hype Section. He contributed to an essay published in the New York Post that criticized Che Guevara’s iconization in clothing and other areas. In video games, Pitbull’s hit single “Dammit Man” produced by Jim Jonsin is featured in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, and he also plays himself in the upcoming video game based on the 1980’s Scarface.

The legislation was proposed in response to the influx of aliens to South Florida because of the Mariel boatlift in 1980. Testimony and material for the record was presented by local groups and organizations, Federal, State, and county representatives, and representatives of organizations concerned with citizen and non-citizen rights. The thrust of the testimony concerns the difficulties of dealing with a large alien influx and the need for federal assistance. Specific topics include the impact of immigration on Dade County schools, the costs of the Cuban flotilla, and an analysis of the asylum and refugee provisions of the proposed immigration reform and control act of 1982 by the Lawyers Committee for International Human Rights.

From landing # 1 hits in over 15 countries, 8 billion YouTubeA/EVO views, more than 3 billion Spotify plays, 70 million single salesand 6 million album sales, Pitbull does not stop. His relentless work ethic transformed him into a Grammy-winning international superstar, visionary entrepreneur, fashion maven, and successful actor. His social media presence speaks to nearly 90 million people daily, matching some television networks. Also known as “Mr. 305” and “Mr. Worldwide,” he is as ubiquitous as Google or Microsoft, while preparing to release his tenth full-length album, 2016’s Climate Change [Mr. 305, Polo Grounds, RCA Records], It's almost impossible to think the Miami native bom to Cuban-American expatriates, “turned a negative into a positive” and became one of the world’s greatest entertainers and businessmen, but that’s exactly what he accomplished. Breaking barriers is in his blood. His grandmother was one of the first women who fled to the Sierra Maestra mountain range in Cuba, escaping the tyranny of Fidel Castro. His mother arrived in the United States as part of the historic “Operation Peter Pan,” and his father even picked up 547 people during the Mariel boatlift. His aunt became a Cuban political prisoner. Pitbull remains immersed in a culture of challenging status quo and emerges victorious. Moving around Miami as a child, he fell in love with the city and siphoned a will to hustle from the 305. Upon graduating high school, he turned all of his attention to music with a series of underground mixtapes.

  • RACE and the DETENTION of MARIEL CUBANS, 1980-1981 By
    “I HOPE THEY DON’T COME TO PLAINS”: RACE AND THE DETENTION OF MARIEL CUBANS, 1980-1981 by ALEXANDER MAXWELL STEPHENS (Under the Direction of Bethany E. Moreton) ABSTRACT In 1980, roughly 125,000 Cubans sailed to the United States in a mass migration that became known as the Mariel boatlift. Labeled "scum" by Fidel Castro, many of the Cubans who crossed the Straits of Florida found themselves stigmatized again in the United States, as rumors spread that their government used the boatlift to empty its prisons and mental institutions. Criminalized and caught in the middle of a changing U.S. refugee policy, tens of thousands of Mariel migrants were sent to makeshift detention centers on military bases. Black and mulato Cubans made up a disproportionate number of the people confined to these carceral spaces. Although scholars have been critical of the stigmatization and detention of people from Mariel, few have explored fully the ways that race shaped this process. This thesis analyzes the various forms of power that contributed to the racialized consequences of the boatlift.
