Biographical Record

Juan Pablo Duarte was born in Santo Domingo on January 26, 1813. Educated in Spain and the United States where he absorbed liberal republicanism, Duarte returned home determined to liberate his homeland from Haitian occupation.

On July 16, 1838, Duarte founded the secret society La Trinitaria, organizing patriotic youth into clandestine cells. He designed the Dominican coat of arms and national flag bearing the white cross and the motto 'Dios, Patria y Libertad'. Exiled repeatedly by conservative caudillos, he died in poverty in Caracas in 1876; his remains now rest in the Altar de la Patria.
