Miriam Colón's #LegacyLeaders Video

"Giving this to the children...
helping them discover the richness of their own culture
the richness of what our contribution is to society...
when we are gone--that’s all that stays."

Sign up for the Legacy Forward team to help us celebrate Miriam Colón,
the #LegacyLeaders, and theatres of color!

She moved to New York City that same year, and was accepted into the Actors Studio by Elia Kazan after a single audition, thus becoming the Studio’s first Puerto Rican member. Her film career spans 30 films and over 75 television series and appearances.
