Remanganaguas cemetery eternalizes José Martí

Remanganaguas is one of the places that marks your immortality, where the kindness and honor of a warrior transcends 124 years after your death.

There, where your remains rested for the first time and your visceras were sown forever, shines your star of fine decorum that transits latitudes in a polarized America.

Remanganaguas is an enduring symbol of your still fresh footprints, of your passing through the quarries of San Lázaro; where the cruelty and hatred of fellow men who could not annihilate your greatness as an unparalleled champion remains in every rock.
It is in this rural area of the municipality of Contramaestre, where your accurate vision of “Homeland is Humanity” is evoked daily. There, your lit verb is venerated, your commitment to the destiny of your Homeland.

This is the place in the geography of eastern Cuba, where your legacy of illumination converges. A footprint that travels through thoughts and actions in countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Remanganaguas is the imperishable stimulus that treasures doctrines of independence, justice and sovereignty for the good of the dispossessed of the earth.

On the 124th anniversary of your death, Remanganaguas is faithful to your memory, it reminds you as the greatest poet, the most sincere friend; the man of the Golden Age; the intellectual author of the Moncada Attack by Fidel and as the Icon of Cuba.
