Jose Marti

Jose Marti (1853-1895) was a man who fought for Cuban Independence for his entire life. He wanted a freed Cuba since he was just 15 years old and came closer to accomplishing this when he began his own newspaper, and named it //A Free Fatherland// Because of of Marti's acts, he was forced to leave Cuba. He deported to Spain and received his master's and a law degree. Marti moved to New York City and the Cuban Revolutionary Party. Years later, he led a battle against Cuba and died just before Cuba became a free country.
