Uruguay - Birthday of José Artigas and Never Again Day
On June 19, Uruguayans celebrate the birthday of José Artigas, country's national hero referred to as the “father of Uruguayan nationhood”. This public holiday is also known as Never Again Day (Día del nunca más).
José Gervasio Artigas was born on June 19, 1764. At the age of 12, he left school and began to work on a farm. Having come of age, he became a cattle smuggler, which made him a wanted man. In 1797, Artigas began a military career because he was promised a pardon in exchange for joining the army.
