The deep roots of a nation - the "Baraguá Protest"
«Cuba's future will be an eternal Baraguá»
"… Our generation received the heritage, the spirit of everything that other generations did: the heritage of Céspedes and Yara; the heritage of Agramonte, Calixto García, Máximo Gómez; the heritage of Maceo, the heritage of this singular, extraordinary act that was the Baraguá Protest" Fidel Castro Ruz
Cuba’s war of independence was re-initiated February 24, 1895
José Martí entrusted Juan Gualberto Gómez, a son and grandson of slaves, to re-launch the insurrection, with the independence forces better organized and more determined than ever
Every February 24, Juan Gualberto Gómez, son and grandson of slaves, raised a Cuban flag at Villa Manuela, his residence in the Mantilla neighborhood of Havana, after Spanish colonialism had been replaced by U.S. domination. Flying the lone star flag on this date was his way of saying that Cuba's sovereignty was an aspiration that had not been forgotten.
Statement of Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs in the 46th Session of the Human Rights Council
Madame Chair,
