En memoria de Gloria Amaya
Jose Martí said of the great Cuban mother, Marina Grajales, “Faciles son los heroes con tales mujeres” (It’s easy to be heroes with women such as these).
Gloria Amaya was also such a women.
Surely, one of the cruelest lies ever uttered was the promise made 51 years ago on January 9, 1959:
“I tell the mothers that they will never, because of us, have to weep.”
May God bless her, and may she now rest in peace without tears.
There are wonderful tributes to Doña Gloria Amaya by Marc, here, and Capitol Hill Cubans, here.
wow - a really courageous woman; incredible legacy the way she raised her sons; RIP
Descanse en Paz Señora Gloria Amaya. REST IN PEACE DEAR WOMAN. JUSTICE WILL BE DONE.!
