May 19 marks the 130th anniversary of the fall in combat of José Martí Pérez, Apostle of Cuban independence. No hero has so deeply penetrated the conscience of the island’s inhabitants, and the permanent remembrance of his life and work is a constant in the new generations.
Orlando Pantoja Seminternship, Contramaestre municipality. It is a day like any other, with the routine of classes, the coming and going of students and teachers.
As in every Cuban school, José Martí, the Apostle of Independence, stands out.
It is common to look in the school library for a text by the teacher, visit one of the exhibitions about his life and work …..
They embody characters from his works, enthusiastically participating in Marti’s classrooms….
It is a permanent example of a man who has long since become the teacher of the new generations of Cubans.
