Parade in honor of the birthday of Father of the fatherland
Friday January 26 the birthday (January 26, 1813) of Juan Pablo Duarte was celebrated. Juan Pablo Duarte is considered the founder and 'father of the fatherland', who, in 1844 together with Ramón Mella and Francisco Sánchez, drove back the Haitian occupiers and proclaimed the (first) independent Dominican Republic (República Dominicana). Until today, Duarte is a symbol of 'freedom' and many streets, buildings, bridges and the highest mountain in the country bear his name.
