History

An unusual movement of students was evident around the University of Havana, that March 13, 1957. Also, those who were near the Presidential Palace listened to fire firings, shortly after 3:00 o´clock in the afternoon. Inside the mansion everything was hell.

At 3:21 in the afternoon of March 13, 1957, José Antonio arrived at the Radio Reloj´s booth and gave to the speakers several reports, that informed about the attack to the Presidential Palace and from an alleged report issued by officers and enlisted personnels that would have taken the control of the Army, after dismissing the high officers and officials of the tyranny.

The Cuban leader Fidel Castro has described the attack to the Presidential Palace on March 13, 1957 as "an well organized operation, an act of extraordinary boldness and bravery, in which there also were failures and unforeseen facts".

That March 13 1957 was signaled in Cuban history as the day when for a few seconds tyrant Fulgencio Batista was almost executed by a group of students, in his own office.
