On July 26, 1953, a group of young revolutionary Cubans, followers of Jose Marti’s ideas, assaulted Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes garrisons: Military fortresses at the service of the repression policy by that time.

It was the month of July of 1890 and maybe due to Marti’s experience and his powerful way of speaking or giving a speech, two nations of the American continent designated him as consul in New York: Argentina on the 24th and Paraguay on the 30th.

As part of the commemorations for the 57 anniversary of the historic assault on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes quarters, will be held in the town of Encrucijada, the birthplace of Abel and Haydée Santamaría Cuadrado, a tribute to the heroine of Moncada.

Cuba on Monday put out an almost unpublished speech by Argentinean-Cuban guerrilla commander Che Guevara in 1962, as homage to the bicentennial anniversary of the Argentinean independence tomorrow.

"IF only Celia was here!" I grew up hearing that phrase repeated by adults when some official proved unworthy of his or her post or if errors continued being committed right before their eyes.

Venezuelan poets with Cuban actor Carlos Ruiz de la Tejera and minstrel Jesus del Valle (Tatita) dedicated poems and songs to Jose Marti in Casa de Nuestra America Jose Marti (Our America House).

The figure of tireless Cuban revolutionary Celia Sanchez was highlighted on Monday in eastern Santiago de Cuba province, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of her death.

When on 7 December 1896, Major General Antonio Maceo Grajales took his last breath at the then little known country estate of Bobadilla, San Pedro, Punta Brava, Cuba lost not only the Liberation Army Major General, the second in command, but also an upright revolutionary man who fought bravely for nearly three decades for our independence.

On December 9, 1964, Commander Ernesto Che Guevara traveled to New York to participate in the United Nations General Assembly. From there he departed on a long journey to eight African countries (he also visited China), meeting with heads of state and government and leaders of liberation movements.

The 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution and the achievements of the Cuban people in the past five decades were celebrated during this past weekend in several countries around the world.
