Felipe Luciano

Luciano has broken down barriers and pioneered new ground throughout his entire adult life. As founder and chairman of the Young Lords Party, Luciano's commitment to community empowerment, Ethnic pride and civil rights was pivotal in changing the color and complexion of politics, culture, and society from New York to Puerto Rico. Luciano's impact is so lasting and vital that he is continually asked to advise leaders of state and local governments and corporations on issues affecting growing markets, the Latino community, coalition building, diversity, and multiculturalism.

Beyond his work in the community, Luciano is an acclaimed success in all areas of entertainment and media including television, radio, lectures, music, poetry, journalism, and stage productions. From opening up electric journalism as the first Puerto Rican news anchor for WNBC and continuing on CBS-TV's Channel 2's The People and Fox-TV's Good Day New York and Street Talk with Ed Koch, Luciano has not only successfully challenged stereotypes, but also predicted and created changing trends and tastes in the industry and their related markets. Luciano is one of the founders of the rap/hip hop movement having performed and traveled extensively in the 60's as a member of the Original Last Poets.
