The Freedom & Virtue Institute’s Founder, Ismael Hernandez, grew up in Puerto Rico, the son of a committed Marxist and a founding member of the Socialist Partywho left an extensive FBI record. He was raised to believe that America was the enemy of humanity and it was his duty to destroy her. Yet, his mom was a Catholic who sneaked him to mass with friends. Ismael became active in the Socialist Party and later enterted Jesuit Seminary during the time when liberation theology and the Nicaraguan Sandinista Revolution were very influential in Central America. After leaving Seminary he came to America to attend graduate school. His experiences began to slowly shatter his preconceived notions about this country. He was embraced by Americans and given opportunities he could never have imagined. He began to read writings of and about America’s Founding Fathers and learned the principles of America’s origins. At this point he began to believe in the truth of freedom and reject the lies of socialism.
