"Juan Gualberto Gómez Ferrer (July 12, 1854 - March 5, 1933) was an Afro-Cuban revolutionary leader in the Cuban War of Independence against Spain. He was a \"close collaborator of [José] Martí's,\" and alongside him helped plan the uprising and unite the island's black population behind the rebellion. He was an activist for independence and a journalist who worked on and later founded several pivotal anti-royalist and pro-racial equality newspapers. He authored numerous works on liberty and racial justice in Latin America as well. In his later years, he was a \"journalist-politician.\" He defended the revolution against racism and U.S. imperialism and upheld Martí's legacy in print (often under the pseudonym \"G\") as he served the Cuban state; he was a part of the Committee of Consultations that drafted and amended the Constitution of 1901, and was a representative and senator in the Cuban legislature. He is best remembered as \"the most conspicuous\" Afro-Cuban activist leader of the 1890s independence struggle and \"one of the revolution's great ideologues.\""
