Early years

Jose Julio Henna Perez^[2] was born at 24 Isabel street in Ponce, Puerto Rico,^[1] on 24 May 1848.^[3] His parents were Jose Henna Darricot – an Englishman – and Maria del Rosario Perez y Garcia, a Puerto Rican member of the privileged upper class.^[3]

Political incursion

When he was twenty years old, Henna designed a plan to liberate Puerto Rico from Spanish colonialism. The plan failed when the authorities discovered it and he was jailed as a result. However, he was set free through the general amnesty which followed the Spanish revolution, which also ended the reign of Queen Isabel II. In spite of this, in 1869 General Sanz stated to Henna that it would be best if he left the Island. Henna moved to New York and studied medicine at Columbia University, earning his medical degree on 23 February 1872.^[4] From New York, Henna continued to support the cause of independence for Puerto Rico.^[5]

Career

In 1880, Henna founded, together with Drs. Chauveau, Deberceau, Muvial, and Ferrer, the New York City French Hospital at 330 West 30th street.^[6] He became medical director of the institution and was a member of the medical faculty at Bellevue Hospital.^[6]

Death

Henna died in Ponce on 2 February 1924.^[7]

Legacy

A street in the town of Ponce is named after Dr. Julio H. Henna. It intersects Calle Dr. Virgilio Biaggi, in the Extension Mariani sector of Barrio Canas Urbano.^[7] A gold pendant believed to have belonged to Ponce area cacique Agueybana, and acquired by Dr. Henna, was displayed at the Gabinete de Lectura de Ponce around 1910, and is currently on display at the Smithsonian Institution.^[8]

New York-Washington-Puerto Rico

New York-Washington-Puerto Rico: 1898-1899

In July 1898, Hostos came to the United States to try to forestall the American annexation of Puerto Rico, but by the time he arrived in New York, an expeditionary force had already left to invade the island.  In New York, Hostos founded the League of Patriots.     Read More…         (En Español)

He later headed the Puerto Rican Commission that met with President William McKinley in Washington to petition rights for Puerto Ricans, with no results.  He went back to the island and established his residence in his native Mayagüez.  There Hostos founded the Municipal Institute, which had a school for children, a program of Saturday lectures, and an evening school for workers.  Hostos tried to promote a unified response to the American military regime through The League of Patriots.  But the political parties did not support his proposals.  By the end of the year, he accepted an invitation from Dominican President Horacio Vázquez to work again on education in that country

En el 1898, Hostos vino a los Estados Unidos para tratar de evitar la anexión norteamericana de Puerto Rico, pero cuando llegó a Nueva York, ya había salido una expedición militar a invadir la isla.  En Nueva York, Hostos fundó la Liga de Patriotas.   Algunos meses después, presidió la Comisión Puertorriqueña que se reunió con el Presidente William MacKinley en Washington para peticionar por los derechos de los puertorriqueños, sin lograr resultado alguno.  Regresó a la isla y estableció su residencia en Mayagüez, su ciudad natal.  Allí fundó el Instituto Municipal, que tenía una escuela para niños, un programa de conferencias sabatinas y una escuela nocturna para trabajadores.  Hostos intentó lograr que se diera una respuesta unitaria al régimen militar norteamericano mediante La Liga de Patriotas.  Pero los partidos políticos no apoyaron sus propuestas.  A final de año, aceptó una invitación del presidente dominicano Horacio Vázquez para trabajar nuevamente en el sistema educativo de ese país.
