Monument for the 8 medical students at La Punta. Photo de L. Calvo
Since November 27th 2006 a group of Havanans are paying tribute to five black young men, members of the Abakuá religion, who participated in an event totally unknown (or ignored by) in Cuban history: The attempt to free eight medical students in the morning of November 27th 1871, moments before they were shot by some violent Spanish soldiers. A dreadful crime that is very well-known in Cuba where eight innocent people mistakenly were condemned (there is proven evidence of their innocence).

What characterizes us as Cubans is our flag, the national anthem, the Royal Palm, and ⎯among others⎯ a mixed race influenced by the Spanish, African and Indigenous, that have converged in one cultural trunk leaving us religious syncretism.
