IDOLS AND INFLUENCES


IDOLS AND INFLUENCES


Print

The influence of Hispanic and Latinx cultures and individuals on the United
States is impressive. From ground-breaking scientists, artists, athletes, and
political game-changers, check out just a few of the greats:



Roberto Clemente: Born in 1934 in Puerto Rico, Clemente, a prolific
right-fielder, paved the way for Hispanic Americans in Major League Baseball. In
1960, he became the first Latin American and Caribbean to win a World Series as
a starting player.



Julia Alvarez: Famous for works such as In the Time of Butterflies and How the
Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, Dominican American author Julia Alvarez has
been a powerful voice in publishing since the 1990s and is now one of the most
critically revered Latina writers working today.



Carolina Herrera: From her beginning sewing dresses for her dolls in Caracas,
Venezuela to dressing some of the most notable women in the world—including
Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan, and Kate Middleton—Carolina Herrera
broke many barriers for Latinas in fashion and became a household name.



Ellen Ochoa: In 1993, Ellen Ochoa made history as the first Hispanic American
woman to go into space. Born in Los Angeles years after her paternal
grandparents immigrated from Mexico, she completed four space missions, then
later became the first Hispanic American director of the Johnson Space Center in
2013.



Evelyn Cisneros: The first Latina prima ballerina in the United States, Mexican
American dancer Evelyn Cisneros played countless roles including Princess Aurora
in Sleeping Beauty, the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker, and Odette/Odile in
Swan Lake.



Sonia Sotomayor: Born and raised in the Bronx with Puerto Rican descent,
Sotomayor had big ambitions beginning in childhood. From Yale Law to the U.S.
District Court to the U.S. Court of Appeals, she became the first Latina Supreme
Court Justice in U.S. history in 2009.

Controlled by Mexico until its independence in 1836, Texas joined the Union and
became the 38th state in 1845.

Next Steps: The examples of famous and influential Hispanic/Latinx Americans
above are barely a drop in the bucket. From sports to politics to entertainment,
think about some of the individuals who’ve made an impact on your life. Next,
pick up a biography, watch a documentary, or do some research online and
challenge yourself to learn more about their life and contributions.
