Cuban president recalls poet Bonifacio Byrne s birthday
Havana, Mar 3 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Wednesday recalled the 160th birthday of author Bonifacio Byrne, who wrote the emblematic poem Mi Bandera (My Flag). On his Twitter account, the president evoked Byrne s verses, Can you see it? My flag is that, which has never been a mercenary and on which a star shines, with more light when more lonely.
The Cuban playwright was born on March 3, 1861, and transcended due to his works in favor of independence and his professional career, which included the foundation of La Mañana and La Juventud Liberal newspapers.
