Fidel: A Century of Life, a Legacy Beyond Death

 

 

“Los Agradecidos Te Acompañan”

Cabalgando Con Fidel by Raul Torres

As we commemorate one hundred years after the birth of Fidel Castro and the tenth anniversary of his passing, we reaffirm that even death has not taken him from the hearts of the Cuban people. His legacy continues to resonate, sustained by the convictions he defended, the generations he inspired and in the conscience of millions around the world who believe that sovereignty, dignity, and social justice are principles worth defending.

The measure of that legacy is found in more than history books and speeches. It lives in generations who believe that education is a right, that healthcare should never depend on wealth, that solidarity is stronger than selfishness, and that a nation’s independence is worth defending no matter where you find yourself.  It lives in every Cuban who believes that Cuba’s future belongs to its own people and reaches beyond borders through those inspired to serve others, confront injustice, and defend the dignity of every human being.

Today, we remember the revolutionary and the man who devoted his life to the dignity of the homeland. We honor his convictions by carrying forward the work of solidarity, defending sovereignty, pursuing justice, and refusing to surrender hope.

A century after his birth and a decade after his passing, we remember Fidel with gratitude, conviction, and love.

¡Viva Fidel!
