Book Description

Excerpt from The Hero of the Filipinos: The Story of Jos Rizal, Poet, Patriot and Martyr Lest we forget how foolish, in the end, are the pre tended racial superiorities, it may be well to take note of this brown man that revealed a genius so great, a mind so strangely resourceful, so wide a range in achievement, so unusual a character, while performing a service so momentous. Of a race too lightly esteemed by Caucasians, he left a record of which the foremost Caucasian people might justly be proud.
