From left to right Alejandro Peraza Peña, 21, Yaxelys Pereda Orraca, 18, Noxcy Palacio, 21, and Diana Legar, 23, mourn the death of Fidel after a student rally in his honor at the University of Havana, Cuba on November 26, 2016. Palacio says he owes his mother's life to Fidel because two years ago she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, through Cuba's healthcare system, she received free treatment and recovered. He also remembers seeing Fidel speak in person at his school's inauguration in 2002, only 7 years old then, he says his presence was undeniable and he has chills hearing his leader's voice live.
