We remember Salvadoran and Latin American revolutionary Farabundo Marti on the 126th anniversary of his birth. 

Martí remains a martyr figure for El Salvador’s Left. His legacy is invoked in the name of the Salvadoran political party Frente Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional, or FMLN, which fought, during the 1980s, against the U.S.-backed Salvadoran military government.
