- Against the backdrop of America’s escalating urban rebellions in the 1960s, an unexpected cohort of New York radicals unleashed a series of urban guerrilla actions against the city’s racist policies and contempt for the poor. Their dramatic flair, uncompromising vision, and skillful ability to link local problems to international crises riveted the media, alarmed New York’s political class, and challenged nationwide perceptions of civil rights and black power protest. The group called itself the Young Lords.
Utilizing oral histories, archival records, and an enormous cache of police records released only after a decade-long Freedom of Information Law request and subsequent court battle, Johanna Fernández has written the definitive account of the Young Lords, from their roots as a street gang to their rise and fall as a political organization. Led predominantly by poor and working-class Puerto Rican youth, and consciously fashioned after the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords confronted race and class inequality and questioned American foreign policy. Their imaginative, irreverent protests and media conscious tactics won significant reforms and exposed U.S. mainland audiences to the country’s quiet imperial project in Puerto Rico. In riveting style, Fernández demonstrates how the Young Lords redefined the character of protest, the color of politics, and the cadence of popular urban culture in the age of great dreams.
Johanna Fernández is assistant professor of history at Baruch College of the City University of New York and editor of Writing on the Wall: Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Yes they did! #RickyRenuncia. Now he’s running for office again!!
I, as a Puertorican lived through the years of The Young Lords, The Black Panthers!! I believe we should organize again. Be blessed. I will be buying your book.
Thanks for your wonderful research. I have been studying the history of the Young Lords for some years now. I will be adding your book to my collection.
I’m just starting my journey into learning about the Young lords and wanting to learn more if you could guide me into a location of this information I would appreciate it. If you know where I can watch the movie “El Pueblo se levanta” I would really appreciate that information.
@@caciquev3818 I am not sure about the movie. But, in terms of books, "The Afro-Latin@ Reader," by Juan Flores and Miriam Jimenez has some good information. Also, "Harvest of Empire," by Juan Gonzalez, and there are a host of TH-cam videos that are very informative.
Thank you I will be checking them out
I Love Mi Gente ✊🏼✊🏿

This brings me back my sister was a Young Lord in the late 60,s when we lived in Brooklyn
I can’t wait for a young lord movie stop sweeping our history under the rug
Is it a feature-length movie with actors or are you speaking of the documentary that's available on Amazon?
This is an incredibly inspiring lecture that connects the profound work of the Young Lords to the work of activism in immigrant communities today. Very important talk. Thank you so much for providing this context.
The Young Lords,Los Hijos de Malcolm✊❤💥💯
Johanna Fernandez' incredibly powerful lectures on The Young Lords and the gentrification and destruction of New York's Black and Latino peoples, esp the Puetro Rican people in the wake of racist economic dispossession and subsequently, the pauperization and lumpen-proletarianization of the Mexican people in the wake of NAFTA.
I was surprised to see my brother on the front cover of her book.
Which one is your brother and what’s his name? I’m the author of the book.
This is the brotherhood, the church that JESUS wants, to stand up with the grace of God, for His Divine justice, to home the homeless, to share our blessings and spiritual food with the hungry and to follow JESUS humbly. We will overcame evil with good. Viva La Revolución Cubana, vivan los libertadores de America , muy pronto libre y soberana. 🖤🤍🤎💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💔💟💝💘💖❣️💕💞
Abajo el comunismo y Fidel Castro
Cool❤

PR needs you now young lords we need to organize PR as of now 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘
interesting wondering why my mom and her family never told me this and they’re born and raised on puertorican soul
1937 operation bootstrap fired more farmers than absorbed workers in Puerto Rico. It displaced 1/3 of Ricans from the island into the USA.
We are the oldest colony and we were used to help illustrate the blueprint for the US military and government to transform so called third world countries with capitalist and development expansion on our island of Boriken..
Cacique Arasibo shed a tear that day.... 💧
And now Miya Ponsetto is out there in California fucking up...
I'm missing something: when she mentions "Ellen" at 34:00, whom is she referring to? i thought she meant Degeneres, but she isn't latina at all is she?
She is referring to Ellen Degeneres due to her being a gay woman.
no
I meant that 60s movements created a cultural revolution that allowed people of color and the LGBT community to be represented in public space. It made possible the election of a black president, but clearly representation is limited, the 60s won battles but it didn’t win the war.
Partido de los Young Lords
Can anyone help by the explaining the Young Lords movement
She telling you
Stop looking at her shirt lol
Wanting your piece of the pie does not make you a socialist...However, giving everyone equal pay regardless of their input toward society withdraws incentive for productivity...why work at all? Self sufficency pays no taxes...
The Young Lords were near Halsted and Armitage in Chicago in the 60's. Next to a gang called the Puerto Rican Stones, and about 12 blocks from Cabrini Green! But look at the neighborhood now! Lincoln Park is one of the richest neighborhoods in the Midwest or Mideast (geographically correct). So The Young Lords didn't really help! The neighborhood is MUCH NICER NOW!! It was all a WASTE OF TIME!
De hai vengo YO,
70% Afro & Trigueño & Mixed & White Puerto Ame - Ricans aka Boricuas
30% Afro American & Afro Latinos of Mexican, Cuban, Dominican, Panamanian, Columbian & varied descent.
The people of PR need help now. They are killing them.viequez needs a hospital

Interesting lecture. I always find it funny when mention of Puerto Rico’s colonial status no one mentions how the lifestyle of the average Puerto Rican on the island compares to the average lifestyle of the independent “democratic” Dominican Republic and the always romanticized socialist Cuba, also former Spanish Colonies. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not for colonialism but it was the sign of the times. I would love to see Puerto Rico independent but not as another socialist Latin American country. American Marxist and Leninist wear there Che Guevara tshirts and spew there socialist ideologies from the comfort of their capitalist American lifestyle. But, “viva la revolucion”
Well said! Boriqua Hasta La Muerte!
Querido hermano entra en serenidad y seriamente cuestionado ese viejo cuento de propaganda de los de arriba para dormir o seguir con el abuso de los de abajo si no estás consciente aquí ahora mismo hay una junta de control fiscal que cada vez más y más atropella nuestra ciudadanía a base de una deuda falsa ilegal e inventadas por los banqueros y la gente como Richard carrión . Cuestionate sí aquí en nuestra isla hay ni siquiera un mínimo de lo que se describiría como democracia condiciones condiciones qué se consideran justas y vivibles lo que sí hay es un atropello brutal institucional de un sistema y básicamente no sirve los intereses del ciudadano de a pie
Abajo Fidel Castro.
Biblical warfare against God's people!
Isaiah 42:22
“But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.”
Disproportionately black latino and Afro latino... they r among the blackest groups I seen in history.
