Enrique Emilio Ros y Pérez (1924 – 2013) was a Cuban-American businessman, author, journalist, magazine publisher, and prominent activist vehemently opposed to the regime of Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Born in Cuba in 1924, Ros established himself as a journalist and publisher in pre-revolutionary Cuba, working in the media sector during a time of political upheaval. The triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959 prompted his decision to flee the country in 1960 with his family, including his young daughter Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, escaping the increasing repression under Castro's communist government. This exile experience deeply influenced his lifelong commitment to anti-Castro activism and shaped his family's political outlook, with his daughter later becoming a U.S. Congresswoman renowned for her hardline stance against the Cuban regime. Upon resettling in the United States, particularly in Miami's Cuban exile community, Ros continued his professional pursuits in business and writing while dedicating himself to advocacy for Cuban democracy and human rights. He authored books and articles critical of Castro's dictatorship, drawing on his firsthand experiences as a witness to the revolution's early days. As a key figure in Cuban-American circles, Ros participated in organizations and efforts aimed at pressuring the U.S. government to isolate Cuba internationally and support dissidents on the island. His work bridged media, business, and activism, making him an influential voice in the diaspora community's resistance against totalitarianism. Enrique Ros passed away on April 10, 2013, leaving a legacy as a resilient exile whose personal story exemplified the broader narrative of Cuban refugees seeking freedom. His opposition to Castro remained unwavering, contributing to the cultural and political fabric of Cuban-American influence in American politics and society.
