Charla - A Chat with José Martí

It is 1891 and José Martí (as portrayed by Chaz Mena) is preparing for his first trip to Tampa and Ybor City. Time is running out for the Cuban independence movement and Martí must inspire and galvanize his people to join the revolution against Spain in order to achieve a just society in Cuba. As he readies himself for the journey, Martí reflects upon his childhood, his studies, his writings, and his loves. Charla, which in Spanish means a chat, allows us to appreciate the challenges Martí faced in jump-starting the Cuban Revolution.

Charla - A Chat with José Martí begins touring this spring. For more information on scheduling this program contact Laurie Berlin at 727-873-2006 or via email at lberlin@flahum.org.

A dream that we still don't have. We have never been free. Fidel Castro is like a mobster who prays on his own people. A dream I hope one day to see.....freecuba!
