Celebrating Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed\u00b4s 170th birth anniversary in these lands, where he arrived in 142 years ago, recalled historical passages of that umbilical cord that unites us and nourishes us every single day with the very essence that makes them see each other as brotherly peoples. <\/p>\n
According to Rub\u00e9n Rodr\u00edguez, advisor of the Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed Casa de Nuestra Am\u00e9rica in Caracas, the Cuban National Hero came to Venezuela in 1881 to \u201clook for Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar\u201d, and to a country that was pivotal in his military thought through battles fought by the Liberator.<\/p>\n
It was not by chance that on January 21, 1881, Mart\u00ed \u201cwithout shaking off the dust of the road, did not ask where to eat or sleep, but how to go to Bolivar\u00b4s statute\u201d and before it he cried \u201clike a father when a son comes to him\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mart\u00ed founded the Venezolana magazine, so that when he said in his farewell letter to Fausto Teodoro de Aldrey: \u201cGive me Venezuela to serve you, it already has a son in me\u201d, the poet was already a noble son of the Venezuelan homeland, he said. <\/p>\n
Mart\u00ed was one of the teachers of the Bolivar Centennial Generation. He taught Jos\u00e9 Gil Fortoul, one of the greatest Venezuelan intellectuals, besides being a friend of former President Guillermo Tell Villegas. Plus, he was professor of Lisandro Alvarado, one of the great writers, ethnographer, ethnologist and philologist.<\/p>\n
