Rafael Delgado (author)

In 1896, he became a member of the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua, occupying the 12th (XII) chair.

[3] His parents were religious conservatives and moved the family to Orizaba after increasing liberal sentiment in Córdoba.

[3] Delgado earned a degree in education from the Colegio Nacional de Orizaba, where he subsequently taught literature and history.

[3][4] Delgado was invited by José López Portillo y Rojas, the governor of Jalisco, to serve as director of the state's department of education, though his arthritis forced him to return to Orizaba shortly afterward.

[3] In 1932, the town and municipality of San Juan del Río, Veracruz, adopted the name of Rafael Delgado in his honour.
