Lighting the night to recall Martí.
For 66 years now, one of the last nights of January is lit up with torches to recall Martí.
In Havana last night, a sea of youth advanced down University Hill to the Fragua Martiana, near the city’s waterfront, to celebrate a date all Cubans know: the birth José Martí. On January 28, 1853, the most universal of all Cubans was born “in a modest house on Paula Street, where the wall overlooked the port,” as writer Jorge Mañach describes it.
