In Cuba, October 10 marks the Grito de Yara (Cry of Yara) in 1868, when Carlos Manuel de Céspedes freed his slaves and launched the Ten Years’ War against Spain. Seen as the start of Cuba’s independence struggle, it’s a national holiday celebrated with ceremonies and cultural events honoring the birth of the independence movement.
