This repository contains:

• Structured profiles of historical Latino/Latinx figures in Markdown format
• Validation scripts to ensure data consistency and quality
• Static website generator that builds a searchable, interactive site
• JSON API for programmatic access to the data

Each person in the database includes biographical information, their contributions, impact on society, and verified sources.
