JOPLIN, MO (SNS) - Born in Holguin, Cuba, Joplin attorney Aldo Dominguez came to the U.S. in 1965. His wife, Diana, moved to the U.S. from Pinar del Rio, Cuba in 1988; the couple married six years later.

They will speak at 1 p.m., Friday, Oct. 31 at Webster Hall Auditorium at Missouri Southern State University.

The appearance by the couple is part of "The Cuban Semester," sponsored by the MSSU Institute of International Studies.

Aldo Dominguez, who received his Juris Doctorate from the Creighton University School of Law in 1988, is the only Spanish-speaking attorney in Southwest Missouri dedicated to representing the Hispanic population. He was featured nationally on NBC's "Hispanic Today" program in October 2001.

Mr. and Mrs. Dominguez will discuss a variety of issues including:
  • How they maintain communications with their Cuban relatives.
  • How they maintain Cuban traditions with their two young children.
  • Their respective families' flights from communism.
  • Their impressions of the current situation in their homeland.

    There is no admission charge. The public is invited to attend.
