This statue in front of Central Park at the north end of Avenue of the Americas,
IT commemorates spanish American revolutionary Jose Martí campaigned for
the liberation of ‘’Cuba from Spain and was imprisoned by Spanish authorities in
1868. Fleeing to New York in 1880, he continued to advocate for Cuban freedom
while in exile and organized the Cuban Revolutionary Party in 1892’’. From what
i have read about marti he was a very brave man. The statute does help give a clear depiction of his strengthens in battle and bravery,but it doesn’t help his revolutionary and poetic side.
