Felipe Luciano

Felipe Luciano (born 1947, East Harlem, New York City) is a poet, community activist, journalist, media personality, and politician.[1] He is of Afro-Puerto Rican heritage.[2] He is known for his significant involvement in both the Young Lords Party and The Last Poets, and more generally, as "an early and important participant in the awakening of the new consciousness-raising radicalism among Puerto Ricans in New York and across the country in the late 1960s and 1970s."[3]

Luciano later became a radio, television, and print journalist.[4]
