Abstract
For over thirty years Sylvia Luz del Villard Güilbert gave global lectures and performances on the African influence in Puerto Rico (PR) as an activist, actress, artist, ballerina, choreographer, coloratura, dancer, declamadora, folklorist, lecturer, orator, painter, teacher, singer, and writer. Reared by Paula Moreno Herrera, she was born February 28, 1927 in Santurce, PR to Ponce-native Marcolina Güilbert and Arecibo-native Agustín Villard Díaz (1897-1986). Villard graduated from Escuela Superior Central, won a PR government scholarship, briefly attended Fisk University, and ultimately completed University of Puerto Rico–Río Piedras B.A. and M.A. degrees.
