José Lacret Morlot

José Lacret Morlot (October 26, 1850 – December 24, 1904) was a Cuban revolutionary soldier, military leader, and politician, notable for his participation in both of Cuba's wars of independence against Spain. A descendant of a French family, Lacret became one of the most prominent advocates for Cuban independence and the abolition of slavery. His personal motto was: "Everything for Cuba!" (Spanish: Todo por Cuba!) The street connecting the present-day neighborhoods of Diez de Octubre and Cerro is named in his honor.
