Today’s Hispanic Heritage Month featured Latinx Person of the Day is Alma Flor Ada, A Cuban-American author of children's books, poetry and novels. She is recognized for her work promoting bilingual and multicultural education in the US. Alma Flor Ada was born in Camagüey, Cuba on January 3, 1938, to Modesto Ada Rey and Alma Lafuente.[3] She grew up in La Quinta Simoni,[3] a house owned by the family of Cuban revolutionary Ignacio Agramonte.[3] Born into a family of storytellers, poets, and educators,[4] she grew up hearing traditional tales re-told by her grandmother, father, and uncle. At the age of 15, she traded a quinceañera party for summer school in the United States, thus beginning her life as a bilingual person.[5][6] After completing high school in Cuba, she earned a scholarship to attend Loretto Heights College. There she first encountered discrimination against Mexican-Americans,[5] a discovery inspirational to her diversity appreciation efforts. After a year at Barry College in Miami,[3] she earned a Diploma de Estudios Hispanos with an Excellency Award at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.[5] She completed her Ph.D at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.[7] She was awarded a Fulbright Scholars Exchange Grant and appointed a Radcliffe Institute scholar at Harvard University[8] and prepared her dissertation for publication, Pedro Salinas: El diálogo creador.[9] In 1970, she and her four children relocated permanently to the United States.[1] She currently resides in Marin County, California, and has nine grandchildren.[3]
