La Brega: Campeones

8. I Have Puerto Rico in My Heart


Listen Later

In the late 1960s, the Young Lords emerged from a Chicago gang and became a political organization mainly made up of Puerto Ricans in the diaspora. Some had never been to Puerto Rico, some spoke little Spanish – but they all claimed Puerto Rico. Many of these young Boricuas were hungry for stories about their history and tried to learn in any way they could. One of those was Iris Morales, who led TYL’s education mission in New York. Iris talks with us about what it means that TYL championed Puerto Rico, the tensions that arose from trying to get closer to their homeland, and solidarity today.
