Translation written on the image: “nation, inconsolable, weeps before the [tomb where] lie its ideals.” The cross on the tomb reads, “RIP La Independencia Absoluta, Junio 5 1901.” The figure weeping at left holds a wreath with ribbon that says, “Those who did not vote for the Platt law.” The Platt Amendment (to the Army Appropriations Bill) defined the conditions under which the United States would withdraw its military presence from Cuba. It placed significant limits on Cuba’s sovereignty. The Cuban Constitutional Convention accepted its terms in June 1901.
