Our José Martí on his 169th anniversary
Today marks the 169th anniversary of the birth of our National Hero, José Martí, the man who not only fought for the independence of Cuba, but also of Latin America, understanding the need to prevent the United States from spreading through our lands of America, claims conceived since 1823 by the Monroe Doctrine.
The libertarian, generous and humanistic spirit of José Martí presides over the struggle of the peoples of Latin America, projecting itself today to achieve their liberation, respect for their rights, equality, democracy, justice and full life for all human beings.
