There is exactly one woman in the written record of Boriken who held a cacicazgo in her own name, and a whole town still carries it. 🌊

Yuisa ruled the Jaymanio region near the Cayrabon river in the early 1500s, in what is now Loiza. She is the only female Taino cacica the Spanish chroniclers bothered to name for this island. When they baptized her she took the name Luisa, and the town that grew up where her people lived became Loiza. Her name has outlasted nearly every conquistador who ever wrote it down.

We should be honest about the rest. Most of what gets repeated about her, the marriage to a Spaniard, the accusation of betrayal, the way she died, reaches us as legend rather than as documented record. But the cacicazgo was real, the river is real, and the name has been sitting on the map of this island for more than five hundred years.

Loiza went on to become a center of free African life in the Americas and the place bomba was kept alive. The woman the town is named for deserves to be known too. Had you ever heard of Yuisa before today?

Rafael Cordero y Molina was born in San Juan in 1790 to a poor family of free Blacks, and because of his race he was not allowed to attend school. So he taught himself. 📚

In 1810 he opened a free school in his own home and kept it running for nearly sixty years, teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic to boys whose families could not pay a thing. His sister Celestina did the same for girls. Among the children who sat in that room were Roman Baldorioty de Castro, Alejandro Tapia y Rivera, and Jose Julian Acosta, who grew up to become leading voices for the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico. He supported himself making ci**rs and never charged a student a cent. 🕯️

When he died in 1868, more than two thousand people came to his funeral. Puerto Rico calls him the Father of Public Education, and in 2013 the Church declared him Venerable. Share this with someone who should know his name. Had you heard of Maestro Cordero before today? 💛
