Havana, Jan 11 (Prensa Latina) Dozens of Cuban citizens gave tribute to Cuban revolutionary heroine Celia Sanchez in the 30th anniversary of her death.
Different generations of Cubans went up to the Pantheon of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) in the Colon Cemetery in Havana to pay tribute to this revolutionary fighter Monday.
The walk was headed by Lazara Mercedes Lopez, first secretary of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC) in the Cuban capital; and Ana Judith Area, first secretary of the Union of Young Communists in Havana.
Celia Sanchez was one of the first women to take arms against the Batista dictatorship until the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.
She participated in the preparation of the Granma expedition and together with Cuban clandestine leader Frank Pais, she organized the farmers of the zone to support the expedition.
She came to Cuban land on December 2, 1956 with the group of 82 men headed by Fidel Castro to start the war. On March 19, 1957, she climbed the Sierra Maestra Mountains and became a member of the Rebel Army, being the main promoter of the Mariana Grajales Female Platoon.
