Among the homages received by Lebrón are paintings, books and a documentary. Mexicanartist Octavio Ocampocreated a poster of Lebrón, which was exhibited at the Galería de la Razain San Francisco, California. In Chicago's Humboldt Park, there is a muraldepicting Lebrón among other well known Puerto Ricans. Writer, director and film producer Judith Escalonais planning to make a film about Lebrón's life.^[1]Federico Ribes Tovarpublished a book titled Lolita la Prisionera.

There is a plaque, located at the monument to the Jayuya Uprisingparticipants in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, honoring the women of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party. Lebron's name is on the first line of the third plate.

Among the books that include the story of Lebrón are The Ladies' Gallery: A Memoir of Family Secrets^[2]by Irene Vilar(Lebrón's granddaughter), translated by Gregory Rabassa (formerly published as A Message from God in the Atomic Age). The author criticizes her grandmother as a distant, gun-toting, larger-than-life figure who cast a veil of pain and secrecy over her family so vast that Ms. Vilar is still untangling herself from it.It also documents the death of Lebrón's only daughter (Vilar's mother) as suicide.^[3]Irene Vilar began to write the novel in a psychiatric hospital in Syracuse, New York.^{[citation needed]}

Lebrón's granddaughter, Vilar, may have had a slight change of heart after Hurricane Mariadevastated Puerto Rico. She recalled her grandmother's wisdom in that she often said that if Puerto Ricans could feed themselves they could have their country. Vilar made a call for seed donations (farmer's had lost everything), and received "so many we didn't know what to do with them" so she started the "Resilience Fund" with Tara Rodriguez Besosa. She felt they had to work quickly to save farms and farmer's livelihoods.^[4]
