Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter shakes the hands of eager schoolchildren during his historic trip to Cuba.

Accepting an invitation from Cuba President Fidel Castro, President Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, headed a Carter Center delegation to Cuba, making him the first seated or former U.S. president to visit Cuba since 1928. In an unprecedented live speech broadcast on Cuban television, President Carter called on the United States to end an "ineffective 43-year-old economic embargo" and on President Castro to hold free elections, improve human rights, and allow greater civil liberties.
