"¡Presente! The Young Lords in New York," is curated by Hampshire Prof. Wilson Valentín-Escobar at the Loisaida Inc. as part of a three part series focusing on the Puerto Rican nationalist group the Young Lords.
"On July 26, 1969, a group of young Latinos stood in the band shell in Tompkins Square Park, in the East Village, and made an announcement. They were founding a New York branch of a revolution-minded political party called the Young Lords."
