1949 - Luis Munoz Marin became the first democratically elected Governor of Puerto Rico. Luis Munoz Marin (February 18, 1898 - April 30, 1980) was a poet, journalist and politician. He was the first democratically elected Governor of Puerto Rico and considered one of the most important twentieth-century political figures in the Americas. He worked closely with the Government of the United States for the creation of a Constitution for Puerto Rico that would create a more favorable environment in which the island could achieve progress both economically and politically. Munoz served for sixteen years as Governor and his achievements made him worthy of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1962 and of the title -Father of the Modern Puerto Rico-.Jan 02 2005 11:48 GMT
