To celebrate Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month, 2022, the editors of La Voz will highlight a Latinx Living Legend each day. These individuals represent the best of the arts, public service, activism, STEM fields and pro sports. What they represent beyond their field, however, is the determination of all Latinx communities to rise and represent.
Special thanks for Adriana Ruiz (Class I) for her help with this list.
