Background
Julia de Burgos was a poet, educator, activist, and feminist. As many renowned scholars assert, her life was the masterpiece of her work. She did not write for her time, but for the readers of the future.
Julia De Burgos Cultural Arts Center was founded in 1989 by Daisy Rivera and the combined efforts of the Cultural Educational Institute for Boricua Advancement (CEIBA) and the Hispanic Parents Union. These organizations united to realize a long time dream of establishing a family oriented center to serve the Latino youth and their families through programs and activities designed to foster cultural pride and art appreciation.
