Cubans React to President Obama’s Visit (15 photos)

Following President Barack Obama’s historic trip to Cuba in March, Reuters photographer Ueslei Marcelino set up his camera on the streets of Havana, in front of a Cuban and American flag, and asked passing residents what they thought of Obama’s visit to Cuba. He found that most people appeared optimistic, and hoped the thaw in the U.S.-Cuba relationship would bring material improvements to their lives.

Regarding Obama’s historic visit to the island, Zamora said “It’s good for the Cubans that he came and re-established relationships between the two countries.” (Ueslei Marcelino / Reuters)
