		Maceo's position on the questions of race and independence was clear, forthright and downright visionary: he affirmed his pride as a fl man, defended the rights of Afro-Cubans, and at the same time insisted that racial equality was inseparable from the struggle for Cuban independence.
		Maceo's legend as a war hero was well known to the residents of Havana, but like an experienced politician, he used his physical presence, charisma and attractiveness to further his desire to unify the rather tattered Cuban opposition to the Spanish regime (Franco 346).
		Maceo's eloquent defenses in the face of racist attacks, his unwavering support of unconditional national sovereignty, his generosity in victory and his interest in self-improvement and education were diluted in the smelting of the bronze statue that came to represent him in the Republic.
