The Young Lords: Exploring the Legacy of the Radical Puerto Rican Activist Group 50 Years Later

Fifty years ago this week, a group of young radical Puerto Ricans took to the streets of New York City to announce the formation of the New York chapter of the Young Lords. Formed in the same radical tradition of the Black Panther Party, the activists soon became a force in the community that inspired people around the nation. The Young Lords occupied churches and hospitals to offer services to the community, and educated people about Puerto Rican culture and history. They called for self-determination for all Puerto Ricans, independence for the island of Puerto Rico, community control of institutions and land, freedom for all political prisoners and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam, Puerto Rico and other areas. While the group disintegrated in the mid-1970s, its impact is still felt today. Ahead of a commemorative event at the Schomburg Center in Harlem Friday, we speak with three former Young Lords: Denise Oliver-Velez, Carlito Rovira and Democracy Now!'s Juan González, who helped found the organization and served as its first minister of education. We also speak with Johanna Fernández, associate professor in the Department of History at CUNY's Baruch College. She is the author of the upcoming book “The Young Lords: A Radical History.”

Every group that cares and looks after the interest of the poor is “radical”

[@sandrallewellyn2632]

isn't that sad..

[@keeshabrown7353]

In my twenties, I told an older lady that I was a radical. She said "that's a bad word." I said "okay, revolutionary then!" She says that wasn't going to go over well either. I said well, they are both labels I embrace as an advocate and social justice & equality freedom fighter. If it's radical to not be cool with going along with status quo, then by all means call me radical. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

I owe a great debt to the Young Lords, because I grew up in "El Barrio" in New York City to economically poor Puerto Rican parents, but who were immensely wealthy in culture, family and language. I was only 9 or 10 in 1969, but I remember how the Young Lords were standing up to the mistreatment and discrimination of Puerto Ricans in New York. The Young Lords were labeled as radicals and militants, but in truth they fought for and struggled for equality and respect of Puerto Ricans and poor people in America.

[@bobfriedman]

My wife Jeanette and myself were members of Radio Free People - an anti-war audio collective with studios in Soho on Mercer Street. We lived with the Lords at the church for several days and recorded a tape, "The Young Lords Occupy the People's Church." Miraculously, in 2019, I found what's left of that tape at Northwestern University in Evanston at their Oakwood library storage building. It had been converted from cassette to VHS. Not in great shape but still, part of the history. I also remember David Perez and Flaco and singing doowop at night. Great joy during very intense times. The neighborhood was with the Young Lords

We need to keep on educating our people, I’m 36 and didn’t know anything about the Young Lords until about 5 years ago. I’m a father now, my daughter will know our history and truth! I know first hand what it is to be hated because I’m a Latino. I was raised in a town of Florida -High Springs FL- my siblings and I were the only Latinos in the that attended school at Bell High School & elementary, at the time Elementary, Middle, and Highschool were all in one campus. I had to fight all the time, I hated it, it was pure Hell, to be honest, it still effects me till this day! But at the same time it makes me stronger, I wish I could talk to every person in that school, that bullied me, and that caused so much harm to me, mentally and physically, I would look them in the eye, and let them know that I love them, and I pray for them sincerely. God has always put them in my mind and thoughts, I still remember their names -at times I forget my own wife’s name- JK LOL! I hated them for a long time and I wanted revenge, but then... I got tired of hating them, i grew exhausted of plotting my revenge on a daily basis. That’s when I learned a very important lesson from the Man Above, it’s better to forgive and live your life peacefully, then to keep a grudge and be miserable. So, to all of you in Bell Florida that caused me so much pain, I hope you all will teach your children to respect and love to everyone no matter where they come from. PS!!!! Afterwards, we moved to Philadelphia -in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods-, shootouts and violence were the norm. I was more at peace and felt secured, compared to living in High Springs Florida. That should tell you how bad it was for me and my siblings.

I remember the Young Lords back in the 1960s-70s. They were good at organizing many of the marginal members of the ghetto community. They enhanced the identities of many ghetto youths. They were also very good at "getting in the face" of the local governmental leaders and the cops. I was always an admirer of the group. I think that any Puerto Rican in NYC worth his salt supported the outstanding group of neighborhood leaders. I learned alot reading PALANTE AND THE MOHAMMAD SPEAKS newspapers. I remember some of Juan's articles and they were outstanding. It's too bad that they didn't enjoy any real longevity over the decades. BTW, Denise tried to say Dona Felisa Rincon , the ex mayor of San Juan. I knew about Mariana Bracetti because my mom was born in Calle Mariana Bracetti in Santurce Parada 16 y media. My dad was the right hand man of Lic. Juan Mari Bras of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (1961 - 1980). His name is Victor "Marcianito "Santiago. I'm sure that some of the Young Lords leadership remembers his name. I'm a sick man and moving on in years. Otherwise, I would probably show up at the Schomberg Center activity. I remember that the old call sign was : RIGHT ON !!!!!! So Right On brothers and sisters. Let's free Puerto Rico tonite !!!!!! QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO LIBRE !!!!!! PA QUE LO SEPAS !!!!! TY AMY & JUAN.

Ironically while the Young Lords, descendants of those Puerto Ricans who against their will were forced to leave the island, were calling for and demanding Puerto Rico's INDEPENDENCE, some INDEPENDENTISTAS in the island, the ones you'd expect more than anybody else to understand the reasons for those brothers and sisters to leave, do not consider those born and/or raised in the mainland, boricuas too. Instead they're labeled traitors which I find disgusting. In more than one occasion I've been told to move to one of the 50 states if I love the USA so much when I've tried to explain to them for example that ppl like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are as much Puerto Rican as those born and raised in the island. For these jerks the minute you step into that plane at the San Juan airport you stop being Puerto Rican.
