Lolita Lebrón, a Puerto Rican independence activist who spent 25 years in prison for participating in a gun attack on the U.S. House of Representatives in 1954, died Sunday. She was 90.

Lebrón died at a hospital in San Juan of complications from respiratory disease, said Francisco Torres, president of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico.

“Lolita was the mother of the independence movement. This is an insurmountable loss,” said Maria de Lourdes Santiago, a member of the U.S. commonwealth’s Senate from the Puerto Rican Independence Party.

Lolita is an example of the courage, beauty, strength and love of the Puerto Rican woman. May she rest in peace.

A South Bronx Memorial service will be held for Lolita on Sunday August 8th, 2010 at 10:30 AM at La Resurrección United Methodist Church 790 Elton Avenue (corner of 158th St.). The service is open to all who want to attend.
