Just as dawn is the first hour of light, one day after another, so also, year after year, the first day of January recalls the sun that the Revolution has been for this Island.
The dates are an agreement of men, but the deeds of the peoples are not, they are their achievements.
Even so, great events have the time stamp that allows us to return to them, to honor them, and this 2021 Cuba has several memorable milestones that it will come to revere.
Glorious pages will commemorate six decades: from the beginning of the Literacy Campaign (that revolution within the Revolution), until the capital lesson of Girón, when the armed people faced and defeated imperialism.
That April victory will have, as a colossal tribute, the holding of the VIII Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba, vanguard and political authority of the nation. In the heroic will be the whole pattern of those tributes where the Island will go, with its head uncovered, by its highest names: Martí, Fidel, Céspedes, Mariana, Maceo, Camilo, Che ..., and by those who, emerged from the humble entrails of the people, the cowardly fury of our enemies made martyrs, as in the vile act against Barbados.
Because he decided to be free from all dictates, nothing is easy for Cuba; however, his feat precedes him. He makes and writes, with sacrificial ink, his own history: the history of a country in constant Revolution, which resists and lives, just as it will do again, in the year that begins.
Congratulations, Cubans!
