Domingo F Sarmiento (1973)
Commonwealth Ave Mall

Strength emanates from this monument of Domingo Sarmiento. His strength of leadership for the Argentinian people was based in Horace Mann’s educational programs here in Boston, MA.
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (February 15,1811 – September 11,1888) was an Argentine activist, intellectual, writer, statesman and the seventh President of Argentina. His writ-
ing spanned a wide range of genres and topics, from journalism to
autobiography, to political philosophy and history. He was a member
of a group of intellectuals, known as the “Generation of 1837,” who
had a great influence on nineteenth-century Argentina. He was par-
ticularly concerned with educational issues and was also an impor-
tant influence on the region’s literature.
Sarmiento grew up in a poor but politically active family that paved the way for much of his future accomplishments. Between 1843 and 1850 he was frequently in exile, and wrote in both Chile and in Argentina. His greatest literary achievement was Facundo, a critique of Juan Manuel de Rosas, that Sarmiento wrote while work- ing for the newspaper El Progreso during his exile in Chile. The book brought him far more than just literary recognition; he expended his efforts and energy on the war against dictatorships, specifically that of Rosas, and contrasted enlightened Europe—a world where, in his eyes, democracy, social services, and intelligent thought were val- ued—with the barbarism of the gaucho and especially the caudillo, the ruthless strong men of nineteenth-century Argentina.
While president of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Sarmiento championed intelligent thought—including education for children and women—and democracy for Latin America. He also took ad- vantage of the opportunity to modernize and develop train systems, a postal system, and a comprehensive education system. He spent many years in ministerial roles on the federal and state levels where he travelled abroad and examined other education systems.
