The Cuban Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre/Ochún has the potential to inspire a theology of reconciliation for the Cuban community of Miami, Florida, and La Habana, Cuba. To ignore Ochún disregards the religious contribution to reconciliation that can be made by Cuba's most marginalized communities. Although La Virgen de la Caridad/Ochún can serve as a catalyst for reconciling the two Cubas, She also serves as a witness against the dominant white Cuban elite who reconstruct Her image in a way that masks their own power and privilege.
