Tercero in Ponce in Municipio de Ponce, Puerto Rico — The Caribbean (The West Indies)
Jose Marti
Padre y libertador de Cuba
(1853 - 1895)
Su filosofia:
La patria es agonνa y deber.
La patria e ara, no pedestal.
Un pueblo no es la voluntad de un hombre sσlo.
La patrνa no es de nadie.
Se es libre por ser hombre, con ser hombre traemos a la vida el principio de la liberad, y con ser inteligentes tenemos el deber de realizarla.
Yo quiero que la ley primera de nuestra repϊblica sea el culto de los cubanos a la dignidad plena del hombre.
Father and liberator of Cuba
(1853 - 1895)
His philosophy:
The homeland is agony and duty.
The homeland is now and not a pedestal.
A people is not the will of a single man.
The homeland belongs to no one.
One is free for being a man, with being a man we bring to life the principle of freedom, and with being intelligent we have the duty to carry it out.
I want the first law of our republic to bethat the people of Cuba have full human dignity.
