Jose Marti gave his life in the struggle for Cuban freedom. and In the city of Tampa. there is a monument to his memory in a park that is named after him. One of Martis most famous poems "White Roses." made the white rose a symbol of "liberty for Cuba." I understand that there will be a ceremony today in Tampa in front of Martis monument. and I have. therefore. asked Mr. Marcello Maseda. the honorary mayor of Ybor City. the section of Tampa where the Cuban refugees are concentrated. to place a wreath of white roses in my name at the foot of Martis monument this afternoon. By their heroic resistance to the Castro tyranny. the Cuban people have demonstrated that the spirit of Jose Marti still lives in them. the Cuban people. who have never compromised with tyranny. have given us a thousand proofs of this. Despite the Communist terror. despite the executions. despite the repeated military actions against the freedom fighters in the mountains. every day witnesses new acts of resistance by the Cuban people. while new guerrilla bands and new resistance leaders continue to spring up to take the place of those who have fallen in the struggle.
