Boricuas plan events across the United States. Tell us-puertoricans about your event.
September 23rd, 1868 was the birth of the Puerto Rican nation. Islanders launched an armed rebellion to end Spanish colonial rule. Nearly 1,000 revolutionaries --escaped African slaves, jibaros from the countryside, and middle and upper class creoles-- reached the mountain town of Lares with shouts of "Que Viva Puerto Rico Libre!" “Long Live Free Puerto Rico!.” Although Spain crushed the insurrection, it expressed the people’s desire for freedom and marked the beginning of the Puerto Rican nation.
El Grito de Lares flag continues to symbolize national independence. |
ALERT
President Obama took a first step to change US/Cuba policy by lifting travel restrictions for Cuban-Americans. But more work remains to be done to normalize relations.
TheCenter for Constitutional Rights reports that critical legislation hasbeen introduced in both the House and the Senate. H.R. 874 and S. 428,known as “Travel for All,” to overturn the travel embargo to Cuba. Contact your representatives and senators and ask them to co-sponsor this important step towards restoring the freedom to travel. |
