115th anniversary of his death*

*Idania Rodríguez Echevarría*

THE Martí Institutions Committee is to remember the 115th anniversary of the
death in combat of José Martí via a program of conferences, roundtables,
book launches and exhibitions, scheduled to run up until May 28.

announced in a press conference that the anniversary to be commemorated this
May 19 has as its preamble the "Martí in the Turquino Heights" exhibition,
which is open in Havana’s Fragua Martiana.

She said that the national event is to take place in the morning in Dos
Ríos, Granma province and, in the evening, with a concert given by the Buena
Fe duo in the same province.

The Martí youth movement is also to re-cover the Martí route from Playita de
Cajobabo to Dos Ríos, involving 7,750 young people from that locality in
eastern Cuba.

Sánchez also announced a national Roundtable TV program on the Cuban
national hero on May 19, and the Poetry in Martí and Lezama panel on May 29
hosted by the José Martí Cultural Society.

The context was propitious for the launch of the "Dos Ríos and the ascent to
immortality," reflections by Armando Hart Dávalos, director of the National
Martí Program.

Hart’s dissertation refers to significant moments in the life and works of
the most universal of Cubans and emphasizes the importance of younger
generations studying his thinking. (AIN)
