The Cuban Democratic Directorate, heavily funded by the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has supported both Jorge Luis García Pérez "Antúnez" and then now deceased Dr. Darsi Ferrer, two leading AfroCuban dissidents. In fact Ferrer was the subject of the petition that Carlos Moore orchestrated among African Americans and Afro-Latins.
