  • Rafael Cancel-Miranda Praised on His 90Th Birthday
    Rafael Cancel-Miranda praised on his 90th birthday Mayagüez, July 19 (RHC)-- A group of independence fighters on Saturday exalted the figure of nationalist fighter Rafael Cancel-Miranda, on his 90th birthday, at the Vivaldi Cemetery in Mayagüez, where his remains have been laid to rest since March 8th. Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) leader Julio Muriente Perez lamented that due to his irredeemable death, on July 18th he could not be shared with thousands of his fellow countrymen in his native Mayaguez, in western Puerto Rico, "where his immortal remains now rest." The former president of the Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano (MINH) said that perhaps the meeting would have been at the grave of the combative nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos, in the cemetery of Old San Juan, where Cancel-Miranda first went after stepping on Puerto Rican soil after his release from prison in September 1979, after spending 25 years in U.S. prisons. Muriente Pérez said that on this occasion "we would have liked to sing to him, recite his poems, remember his anecdotes, laugh at his great sense of humor, re-charge his batteries with his immeasurable desire to live and serve his people and humanity, evoke his admirable perseverance and firmness of principle." Likewise, he said, we would have remembered, with similar respect to his colleagues Oscar Collazo, Lolita Lebron, Irving Flores and Andres Figueroa Cordero, that "like Rafaelito they are our National Heroes." Born on July 18, 1930 in Mayagüez, he dedicated his life to the independence of Puerto Rico under the inspiration of Pedro Albizu Campos, whom as a Cadet of the Republic, a youth organization of the Nationalist Party, he welcomed in December 1947 upon his return from serving a 10-year sentence in Atlanta and New York charged with conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.

  • Abarca, Apolonia “Polly” Muñoz (1920– )
    COLLAZO, ROSA CORTÉZ (1904–1988) Rosa Cortéz Collazo was a native of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, but moved to New York City in 1925. Employed in a hat factory, hardships and difficult economic times led Collazo to become politically active. She joined the Club Caborrojeño; two years later she was a member of Club Obrero Español, a more radical labor oriented organization. She joined the New York cell of the Nationalist Party in 1937 following the Ponce Massacre in Puerto Rico. After one failed marriage, she wed Oscar Collazo one of two Nationalists who attacked Blair House in 1950 in an attempt to kill President Harry Truman. His compatriot and a White House guard died in the attack and Collazo was tried and sentenced to death. Accused of collaboration to overthrow the government, Rosa was sent to the Women’s House of Detention. Upon release, she successfully campaigned on her husband’s behalf, demanding that his sentence be commuted to life. In 1954 when Puerto Rican Nationalists opened fire in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rosa Collazo was again imprisoned, serving six years in in the Federal Correctional Institution for Women in Alderson, West Virginia. Joined by Dolores (Lolita) Lebrón, one of four Nationalists convicted of the attack against the U.S. Congress, the women found spiritual comfort. In 1977 now living in Puerto Rico, Rosa was part of a campaign to free the Nationalists held in U.S. prisons. Two years later President Jimmy Carter pardoned them, and Rosa flew to Kansas City to greet Oscar. Their separation of twenty-nine years eventually eroded the marriage.

(Óleo de Betzaida González) PEDRO ALBIZU CAMPOS PIEDRA DE PUERTO RICO FRANCISCO MATOS PAOLI Recopilación y ordenación de ISABEL FREIRE DE MATOS FRENTE DE AFIRMACIÓN HISPANISTA, A. C. MÉXICO, 2001 INTRODUCCIÓN EL SER O NO SER DE PUERTO RICO* ¿Quién no recuerda a Shakespeare?, quien por boca de Hamlet (III, 7), dijo: Ser o no ser. De eso se trata, en suma. ¿Qué es lo más noble: soportar callando dardos y flechas de áspera fortuna, o tomar armas contra un mar de males y darles fin luchando? Y aquí nos transporta el poeta a los campos metafisicos de la ontología : que informa del ser en sí. Platón en El sofista, trata extensamente la existencia del no-ser, contradiciendo a Parménides: Forastero: Aquel que declare que existe la falsedad tiene la audacia de proponer el ser del no-ser; puesto que esto se supone en la posibili- dad de la falsedad. Ante lo cual exclama Teetetes: ¡En que rara complicación de ser o no ser nos hemos envuelto! Prosigue Platón a explicar la esencia del ser: Forastero: Mi noción sería que cualquier cosa que posea poder para afectar a otra o de ser afectada por otra -aunque sea por un instante- VII por muy leve que sea la causa o por insignificante que sea el efecto, tiene existencia real, por lo que sostengo que la definición de ser es sencilla- mente poder.

Attending graduate school would not have been possible without the financial support provided by the University of California, Irvine and the History Department.
