Obama Lays Wreath in Havana’s Jose Marti Memorial

US President Barack Obama began his first full day in Cuba with wreath laying at the Jose Marti Memorial in Havana.

President Barack Obama has signed many guest books during his time in office, but the message he left behind for Cubans is one for the history books.

"It is a great honor to pay tribute to Jose Marti, who gave his life for independence of his homeland. His passion for liberty, freedom, and self-determination lives on in the Cuban people today," Obama wrote in dark ink in the book after he laid a wreath and toured a memorial dedicated to the memory of Jose Marti.
