Minerva Mirabal’s children and other relatives attended the event.<\/EM><\/STRONG><\/P> SANTO DOMINGO, April 27, 2014 -. The XVII International Book Fair 2014 presented the Mirabal and Tav\u00e1rez families with a recognition “In Memoriam” to honor B\u00e9lgica Adela \u2013 Ded\u00e9 \u2013 Mirabal, at an event where the Minister of Culture, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Rodr\u00edguez, opened the pavilion that pays tribute to the history and legacy of the honoree.<\/P> The event brought together various personalities of the political, cultural and social arenas, including friends and family of Ded\u00e9 Mirabal who expressed their admiration for a woman who, for over half a century, managed to keep alive the memory of her sisters Minerva, Patria and Mar\u00eda Teresa, hideously murdered by tyrant Rafael L. Trujillo in 1960.<\/P> “What I remember most about Ded\u00e9 is her ability to love her country immensely”, explained Representative Minou Tav\u00e1rez Mirabal, who was accompanied by relatives and friends, such as the Minister of the Environment, Bautista Rojas G\u00f3mez, and Manolo Tav\u00e1rez Mirabal.<\/P> The town of Salcedo sees this woman as its “guardian butterfly”. In fact, they claim that in Ojo de Agua people should talk about before and after Ded\u00e9, and this was confirmed during the screening of a testimonial documentary that was presented during the course of the opening of the pavilion.<\/P> For his part, the Minister of Culture stated: “I am convinced that mothers are not forgotten as long as they have children that remember them”, referring to Jaime David, who could not hold back his tears at the sight of so many objects that reminded him of his mother.<\/P> In the pavilion that pays tribute to the “Fourth Butterfly”, the flora rewards visitors even before they cross the gate with a garden similar to the one Ded\u00e9 had at her residence in Ojo de Agua, in her native Salcedo, located in the Hermanas Mirabal Province.<\/P> Once inside, the feeling of being in Ded\u00e9\u2019s home is almost inevitable. Japanese Architect Capell\u00e1n structured and built this building with the help and collaboration of people close to this iconic woman, all with the successfully achieved idea of imprinting every corner of it with the Mirabal legacy.<\/P> The collection of butterfly brooches that Ded\u00e9 always wore to honor her sisters did not go unnoticed. The collection of items on display also included orchids, photographs and dozens of awards honoring Ded\u00e9, including a medal from Pope John Paul II and the National Award International Book Fair 2014.<\/P> Ded\u00e9 was born on March 1st, 1925 and died on February 1st, 2014. She was almost 89 years old and still cared for her people as was the case during her younger years when she was the object of 27 raids and multiple prosecutions by the forces that did not want her to tell the truth about her family.<\/P> <\/P> The FILRD2014 recognizes Ded\u00e9 Mirabal \u201cin memoriam\u201dSanto Domingo, Dominican Republic, 04\/29\/2014 The event was held in the Plaza de la Cultura, where the Book Fair was taking place.
