Jose Marti 1853 – 1895

Jose Marti was the greatest man in Cuba.Jose was born in Havana, Cuba. With seven sisters he had a crowded family ; freeing Cuba was his life long dream.

When he was 16, he was arrested and was sentenced to six years in jail for denouncing a pro Spanish person in a newspaper. He only stayed in jail for two months before he was released whereon he exiled himself from Cuba. Jose went to Spain and got his law and master’s degree in Madrid and Zaragoza. Even though he had exiled himself he eventually went back to Cuba to fight for their freedom.

Jose formed the Cuban Revolutionary Party in America and brought it to Cuba. Unfortunately, Jose Marti did not get to see Cuba’s freedom seven years after his death, in 1902.
