Cradle Of Cuban Liberty
On this corner was located EI Liceo Cubana, a tobacco stripping house converted into a Cuban social center in 1886. This is the cradle of Cuban independence. Here, on Nov. 26-27, 1891, Jose Marti delivered two speeches, "Con Todos y Para Todos" and "Los Pinos Nuevos", and drafted "Las Resoluciones" which became the program of the United Cuban Revolutionary Party and eventually secured the independence of Cuba from Spain in 1898.
