In 1969, the Young Lords occupied the People's Church in East Harlem to provide services to the community that they felt were not being sufficiently provided. Those 11 days would go on to change America's perception of Puerto Ricans as the young radicals set out to mobilize their community in the face of oppression. "It ain't just East Harlem in this church," Young Lord member Pablo Yoruba Guzman said as he addressed a crowd at The People's Church. "We relate to an international struggle."

Love seeing Gonzalez talking about the Young lords, theres a sense of pride..and when Amy talks about it and smirks as if shes also proud to be working with him.

Wow, too short. Puerto Rico has not been thoroughly or properly presented to the Americans! The struggle continues since they are still a Colony. There is a history here to be learned before the 1960’s….

We must all stand together, black, white, Hispanic, native American, immigrants from every era. We have allowed them to divide us and set us against one another for their own gain for long enough. Kudos to the Puerto Rican people for demonstrating in their hundreds of thousands against their abusive and abrasive governor! Let's keep it up; let's all follow their example and take our country back from the oligarchs!

There's a RICO statute for this. Do we have to revisit the elijah mohommed bakeries?

Ya know they are one of the many different organizations inspired and sometimes orchestrated by the Black Panthers. The exact same program .

@@Voidsworn independence would be best for puerto rico. maybe when america becomes weak and can't invade it. at least with statehood it would have representation in the u.s. gov't. which is better, cuba or hawaii?
