Today, we remember and honor the life of Dr. Marilu María D. Galván, a beloved leader and educator in our community. As Executive Director of el Centro Cívico Cultural Dominicano, Dr. Galván dedicated her life to promoting Dominican culture and heritage. She was instrumental in the campaign to honor Juan Pablo Duarte with the statue at Canal and Sixth Avenue in NYC. An educator at heart, Dr. Galván taught from kindergarten to college, inspiring countless students with her passion for learning and her belief in the power of education. Her legacy of strength, compassion, and dedication will continue to inspire us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time. Rest in power, Dr. Galván. #CommunityLeader #DrMariluGalvan #CentroCivicoCulturalDominicano
