Biography and Description
English
Alfredo “Freddy” Calixto belongs to a family who were among the first Puerto Rican families to move to
Chicago in the early 1950s. Born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Mr. Calixto lived through the displacement of
Puerto Rican families from La Clark to the Lincoln Park Neighborhood where he grew up. Both of his
parents and several of his many siblings became involved in the Caballeros de San Juan and Damas de
María. His father also spent time with the Hacha Viejas (Old Hatchets), a social club that was active in
the neighborhood. Mr. Calixto describes struggling with discrimination in Lincoln Park and how these
early experiences inspired him to commit himself to advocating for Latino youth. He has served as the
Executive Director for Broader Urban Involvement and Leadership Development (BUILD), a non-profit
community organization in Chicago that was founded in 1969. He is currently the Vice President for
Institutional Advancement at St. Augustine College, the only bilingual institution of higher education in
the Midwest.
