Abstract

Pedro Albizu Campos (1891–1965) was the foremost figure in the movement in favor of Puerto Rican independence in the first half of the twentieth century. For more than thirty-five years, until his death, he was the president of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico. A talented lawyer, he was trained at Harvard Law School and experienced racial discrimination firsthand when one of his professors refused to let him serve as his class’s valedictorian because of his race.
