Angelo Manuel Falcón was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on June 23, 1951. He received a bachelor's degree in political science and urban studies from Columbia University and a master's degree in political science at the State University of New York at Albany.

His first job out of college was as a director of Aspira, a Latino empowerment organization. He was the founder of the National Institute for Latino Policy. He used data as a weapon to force elected officials into taking action on behalf of New York's Latino community. He co-wrote several books about the history of Latinos in New York including Boricuas in Gotham: Puerto Ricans in the Making of Modern New York City and Latinos in New York: Communities in Transition. He died after having a heart attack on May 24, 2018 at the age of 66.
