Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter enjoyed a warm welcome from Cuban citizens during a walking tour of historic Old Havana.

In May 2002, President Carter, joined by his wife, Rosalynn, became the first former or sitting U.S. president to travel to 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.
