Jose Marti is the national poet that established Cuban nationalism. Jose Marti is still important today because he attempted to unify the people of Cuba and started a period of love and acceptance with optimism. In this work, Marti is talking about pride of his people in Cuba. He claims that Cuba is our America because Cubans have more pride than any American does. He continues to explain that Cubans should have more pride and should never stop supporting their country and culture. Marti claims that the problem with Universities in America is that there is no University of America. He believes we lack an overall culture because we are a country of many mixed cultures. We lack a universal culture to unite us. Marti also believes that the young people in America are uneducated and are far too uneducated to run a political system or govern. Young people in America understand that there is not a strong culture in America. He believes we as a government copy other countries. Marti also stated that there should not be hatred amongst races in America because we are all people and all the same. This article was difficult to read and I do not think everything Marti said is true.
