José Martí (full name: José Julián Martí Pérez) was a Cuban poet, essayist, journalist, translator, and revolutionary. He was a key figure in the late 19th-century movement for Cuban independence from Spanish rule. Born on January 28, 1853, in Havana, Cuba, Martí became a symbol of the fight for Cuba's freedom.
Martí's writings and political activism aimed at achieving Cuban independence, social justice, and human rights. He spent much of his life in exile, advocating for the cause of Cuban liberation. Martí died in battle during the Cuban War of Independence on May 19, 1895, in Dos Ríos, Cuba. Despite his relatively short life, Martí's legacy endures, and he is considered a national hero in Cuba for his contributions to the country's struggle for independence.
