We were assigned a project in school to pick an 'orgulloso hispano' and i need some help deciding. It can pretty much be any dead hispano that has contributed to society in a positive way.

I wanted to do Las Hermanas Mirabel, but another girl in the class already chose them, so i'm a little stuck. I want the person to be Dominican, but so far when i do searches, i get the same old people and i wanted to find someone less known, but equally influential.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Gracias! :)

Oscar de la Renta may not be a bad choice, depending on your interests and the scope of people you can write about.

another one could be:
Juan Bosch-. Pol?tico y escritor, naci? en 1909. Presidente de la Rep?blica (1962-1963). Naci? en La Vega y estudi? en la Universidad de Santo Domingo. Adversario democr?tico del r?gimen dictatorial de Rafael Le?nidas Trujillo, Bosch fund? el Partido Revolucionario Dominicano en 1939 y hubo de vivir en el exilio desde 1942 hasta 1961, dedic?ndose a la actividad literaria e impartiendo conferencias. Tras el asesinato de Trujillo (1961) Bosch regres? a la Rep?blica Dominicana y en diciembre de 1962 fue elegido presidente. Despu?s de permanecer siete meses en el cargo, fue derrocado por el Ej?rcito acusado de favorecer a los comunistas, por lo que de nuevo tuvo que abandonar su pa?s. El intento llevado a cabo por sus seguidores en 1965 para devolverle a la presidencia, provoc? una guerra civil y la intervenci?n armada por parte de Estados Unidos. En 1966 Bosch, que segu?a oponi?ndose en?rgicamente a la pol?tica estadounidense en Am?rica Latina, fue derrotado en las elecciones presidenciales por Joaqu?n Balaguer. En 1973 fund? el Partido de la Liberaci?n Dominicana (PLD). Trat? infructuosamente de alcanzar la presidencia en 1978, 1982, 1986 y 1990. En 1996 favoreci? la victoria de Leonel Fern?ndez, tras unir sus votos en la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales de julio de ese a?o a los del partido de Balaguer, con el fin de cerrar el paso del candidato socialista Jos? Francisco Pe?a; muri? en el 2001.

conclusion: was against Trujillo....was a President...he founded two very important political parties......plus....great poet and writer

ok at first I thought why not but then I reread her original post and it says
"Orgullo Hispano". Someone who has given pride to his people and country.

Pues no tiene que ser dominicano, pero yo quiero que sea. Y los que tu mencionaste arriba si son orgullosos hispanos, pero otros en mi clase ya los cojeron. Gracias por tu ayuda . . .:) Voy a decidir este fin de semana y despues les voy a decir quien escoji.

What about Juan Pablo Duarte and La Trinitaria and others who helped gain independance from the Hatians in the 1800's I love Dominican history!!!

As today is his birthday all Dominican channels today will give you the indication as to how much "orgulloso" is involved.

Why not use Pedro Mir or Jose Marti (I think he was born in DR but influenced Cuba greatly)
