Nine historians, researchers and professors representing the province of Holguin attended the 9th General Assembly of Associates of the Union of Historians of Cuba, which took place at the Conventions Palace in Havana on March 26-27.
Paul Sarmiento, one of the historians of the Holguin delegation that participated in this appointment, offered details about what happened those days.
He referred that it was a very fruitful assembly which was athended by the country’s main cultural authorities, of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC) and of the Union of Historians (UNHIC) marking a new period in the mandate of the UNHIC, in which Holguin came out strengthened, having several representatives in the national committee of this organization.
The delegate to the assembly also highlighted the importance of the presence of the Union of Cuban Journalists (UPEC) and the significance of the alliance between the press and historians.
These two days were devoted to analyze four topics: teaching and research of history, the use of social networks in terms of teaching and dissemination and the internal structure of the UNHIC.
The assembly was an opportunity to analyze the work done during the last five years and to elect the national secretariat that will guide the management in the next stage, as well as to pay tribute to the associates from all over the country who are physically absent, but whose investigative legacy endures in time.
The meeting was headed by the member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and Head of its Ideological Department Rogelio Polanco Fuentes, and was attended by Antonio Guerrero, Hero of the Republic of Cuba.
The Union of Historians of Cuba has the permanent commitment to promote research and the defense of the memory of the Cuban nation.
