Dr. José Celso Barbosa was a Puerto Rican physician, sociologist, and political leader, known within Puerto Rico as the “father of the Statehood for Puerto Rico movement”. To honor him, Puerto Rico declared his birthday, July 27, an official holiday and named a post office for him in his hometown of Bayamón. Barbosa was also the first Puerto Rican to earn a medical degree in the United States.
