Mariana tossed to the world children loaded with value, and with her, she contaminated to the one that can hesitate in seizing the machete. What greatness that of her forge, of where men like Antonio and José Maceo emerged , patriots, rebellious, brave, educated…!How much integrity stops after the echoes of the bell of The Demajagua, to share the heroism of the manigua next to the most virile, without thinking then of her 53 years neither in her woman condition!
The National Hero of Cuba, José Martí, when valuing the parents of the Titan of Brass, with its fine and sharp prose wrote: “… of the mother more than of the father, the son comes, and is great misfortune duty the body to slack or null people, to who cannot be due the soul; but Maceo was happy, because lion wine and of lioness.”
That lioness was Mariana; able to engender children and to offer them so that fought for the light of their earth although behaved them to the death.
To 195 years of her birthday, Mariana Grajales, perhaps from the infinite, feels pride for those mothers that repeat her sentence to today's sprouts in her own Island: “… we swear to liberate the Homeland or to die for her". (Leonel del Val)
