Title

Cuban Revolutionary Party Founded by José Martí in New York

What occurred

Martí was one of the prominent intellectuals of the Cuban Revolution who argued against the existence of race. The concept of a race-less Cuban nationality was a foundational part of Marti's philosophy on nationalism (9). Said beliefs differed radically from the ethos of the U.S., where "the color line in the United States grew more and more rigid, and the consequences of crossing that line became more and more brutal" (5).
