NEW on Intervenxions “Dr. Evelina López Antonetty was already a legend when I met her. As a Latin music and culture writer of the ‘70s, I was familiar with stories guitarist and cuatro master Yomo Toro recalled of Evelina. She’d coaxe him from his Bronx apartment to spend many hours sitting on a milk crate joking, telling stories, and strumming his strings next to a table manned by this relentless dynamo who didn’t let one fan go by without registering them to vote. Exchanging witty repartee, she didn’t let Yomo go until it was dark. Plainspoken, humorous, and passionate, Evelina was the magnet for many.” September 19 will mark the centennial of beloved activist, organizer, and educator Dr. Evelina López Antonetty (1922-1984). To commemorate her life and legacy, Aurora Flores Hostos shares the memory of her first encounter with the "Hell Lady of the Bronx" as a young reporter in March of 1980, as well as the eulogy she wrote for Elba Cabrera to deliver at her sister's wake.
