once i got i was in his early twenties, he chose to fight for the independence of his homeland. although many, puerto ricans were angered by a lack of political autonomy only a small percentage advocated full independence from the united states. even fewer chose wines, path of paramilitary operations, and robbing banks. last one i did was 33 years ago. most of the time to my role was as the protection against the police coming so i was ready to engage and gunfire it had to be to protect my comrades from, from getting caught. and also on i had thought that through with

with with the island of point article was 1st colonized by spain in 15 o 8 in 1898. it became a u. s. column. yet it has retained its own cultural identity. today nearly 3 and a half 1000000 people live here, a population greater than 21. that is the u. s. states ah, what close to hash live in poverty.

point. the vehicle is a u. s. territory. powerless to challenge actions of the united states government that affected people, residents have no vote in congress or in presidential elections. we had a subscription to time magazine and there was an issue which the cover story was on the prep schools in the us. and i read in and over was covered prominently there and it said they had 7 and or basketball court that that may not made it for you guys who. wow

with i had like a shark skin suit which i thought was so cool. the 1st time i walk in the dining hall, maybe half an hour after my parents left and i felt homesickness. and as soon as i walk into the child home, take maybe 10 steps. some guy goes you know, it's the 1st time i'd heard that word. let alone addressed me, but i went up and slapped him in the face. you know as hard as i could just a walk. and he was so shocked that he didn't do anything. and i went into the, to the court room to hang up michael and then go into the dining room. and, you know, i said, holy, what have i gotten myself with

senior year and, and over my, my professor for american history. mr. len james. he said, said, how would you like to do a term paper in lieu of the final exam? i said, yeah, sure. and he said want to do a paper on the spanish american war. and i didn't, i came to our door in the library to the bottles of the library to who to read the congressional record. and there's nothing like reading these guys talk on filtered on the one side. there was those referring to us for practically, as monkeys, in like of the brown races, listen that are going away. and then you had guys like go william jennings, bryan and the anti imperialist saying this betrays all over the united states, is about we fought the colonies, reform for independence. what we were going to become

a empire now with for over 400 years point dot eco suffered as a spanish colony but in 1897, spain granted the island, a degree of autonomy with many hope that this was a step towards independence. but it turned out to be a dead end. just months after went over the course of 1st election. the united states invaded the island. within 10 weeks, hopes of independence were dashed, as the island was annexed by the u. s. and then in 19, the jones actually made point so he can see us citizen with like, okay, you're gonna make you american citizens,

which you didn't ask for even if we were office citizenship with happened, we would prefer are wrong with you guys in line for a robin, the statue applies to rob it. i don't know you're supposed to, and all i see a lot of people doing it, so i am there you go. okay. who's next? i do know that that's not john harvard. now the didn't know because he was dead by the time they did that. so some, some young man posed a year is not right. and he wasn't just the founder because he was one of, of all one of the. so that's why they say this is the statue of the 3 lice. okay.

now the year i was my dorm room window on the top floor there. as i looked down that morning, i was just starting to be light. it was a mist still on, on the yard which added to this kind of surreal quality. and there was a ring of policeman setting up an outer perimeter. i mean, they all had these helmets on with visors and they set up a gauntlet on on this or hear the bike. then you could hear the screaming and everything else and then started seeing the

guys, students who were in the building being evicted, one by one side. i just pulled down. and as they brought you down the stairs and kicking you and hitting you until you got to the battery, i can throw you in the battery wagon filled up and drove it out. and then brought the next one and i was clearly injured. and that was what basically made the break for me from being an advocate of peaceful change and thinking that we could change things peacefully. understanding that these guys had to be fought in a different way for me. that was the beginning of my radicalization. policemen, the little the crowd, man, group of people inside the building with

the ah, 50 years earlier. another port doughty can student matriculate at harvard battle. i'll be so. campbells in 1921. he graduates from harvard law school with the highest grade point average in his class. and the only one who was privileged lines of puerto rico has produced and was not recognized as such because in his blackboard rangel not i am, ah,

a different historical perspective on, on puerto rico and you know, that gag law that made flying the puerto rican flag by itself illegal and punishable by prison. you know, you couldn't speak in favor of in the pantry, be thrown into prison. with in 1948 la, 53 lay the lamar garza known as the gag order, makes it a crime to display a puerto rican flag speaking out for independence or seeing a patriotic puerto rican song can lead to 10 years in prison. ah, in 1950 nationalists across the island read the staging coordinated attacks on police station, the governor's mansion and the u. s. federal courthouse with the national guard

so they were pushed into that situation. and then of course, they responded and for crushed and crushing away that is like, you know, like when they do, when they put know, an invaders, you know, put down all the freedom fighters, cut their heads off and put them on a pike. so everybody else knows it, don't mess with us because this is which waiting for you i was approached by somebody i trusted very much and you said listeners saw the underground movement is being organized in puerto rico for independence. and are, you know, we think you're a good candidate what he had say. i said yes. in
