HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 27 (ACN) As is tradition every year, tonight the youth and the people will unite in a moving tribute to commemorate the 172nd anniversary of the birth of National Hero Jose Marti, a distinguished symbol of independence and eternal icon of the struggle for justice and freedom.
In Havana, the historic March of the Torches will illuminate the streets from the University Steps to the Marti Forge to remind the world of the validity of the apostle's ideas, his deep love for the homeland and the depth of his example that inspires new generations of Cubans.
