A young woman waves as she rides on a bus carrying her from the airport terminal building in Havana to a Lanica Airlines 727 which had been chartered by the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana to bring 34 recently-released Cuban political prisoners to the United States. The flight was made possible by a grant from the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief and the project was coordinated by the Rev. Leopold Frade of New Orleans.
