"If we know ourselves better, then we will be prouder of who we are, what we have, and what we want to preserve.” - Ricardo E. Alegría

It is with great regret that we mourn the loss of another Puerto Rican cultural giant. Ricardo E. Alegria, cultural anthropologist and archeologist, passed on today July 7, 2011 but not before leaving us with a legacy. His life story, is a story that put pride in Puerto Rican culture. He will be sorely missed but his legacy is one deserving much accolade for years to come. Gracias....Don Ricardo E. Alegria (April, 14 1921- July 7, 2011)
