Miami, FL – The White Rose Institute will meet this Friday, May 10, 2013, in Rafael Diaz-BalartHall (the College of Law) at Florida International University, located at 11200 SW 8 Street in Miami, Florida, to posthumously honor, via his daughter, Cuban physician and mathematician, friend of Albert Einstein and fighter for freedom, Dr. Domingo Gomez Gimeranez.

The White Rose Institute’s Juana Gros de Olea Award is awarded to persons who, by their conduct, personify the highest values of José Martí. The first award was awarded posthumously to Juana Gros de Olea, who helped found The White Rose after three of her four sons were murdered by the Castro regime in January 1959 in Santiago, Cuba. Despite having suffered the greatest pain conceivable, Juana Gros de Olea preached love among Cubans for the rest of her life.
