The fourth and only surviving Mirabal sister, Belgica Adela Dede Mirabal Reyes, who was not involved in the underground movement against Trujillo, has now turned their childhood home into a museum. She has also created a foundation in the name of her three sister. In this video she discusses how she became the mother of the children from her other sisters, she raised them, and made sure they received an education. Dede also talks about how she has turned their childhood home into a museum so that everyone, especially kids, and see learn of how hard the Mirabal sisters fought for the freedom of the people in the Dominican Republic.
