Famous Puerto Ricans

[Leticia_g]

I need your help in locating a good book about famous Puerto Ricans.

I also would like names of Puerto Rican Writers whether contemporary or classic.

This information will be used to inaugurate a new school in my local area. They want to name the school after a famous Puerto Rican preferably not a musician or actor but a scholar.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Regards!
