The activists with the 23rd US-Cuba Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravan paid tribute on Sunday to Cuban Heroine Celia Sanchez at a monument raised in her honor at Havana's Lenin Park.
The activists were briefed on the work of Celia, whom the Cuban people gave all their affection, and her promotion of the project to set up the large recreational park 40 years ago, on the initiative of Fidel Castro.
Park director Annia Masino thanked the visitors for coming to the facility and stressed their struggle against the US economic blockade of Cuba.
Aleida Guevara, daughter of Ernesto Che Guevara, said at the park that like other works made by the Revolution the facility has the imprint of Celia, who promoted the people's contact with nature.
The visitors toured the huge and green areas of the Lenin Park and enjoyed the performance of local artists during a program organized by the Cuban Friendship Institute.
The Pastors for Peace activists will conclude their stay in Cuba on Tuesday, July 31. (acn)
