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 para military operations, and robbing banks. last one i did was 33 years ago. most of the times my role was because the protection against the police coming so i, i was ready to engage in gunfire. it had to be to protect my comrades from, from getting caught. and also on i had thought that through

with the island of point article was 1st colonized by spain in 15 o 8 in 1898. it became a u. s. college. yet it has retained its own cultural identity. today nearly 3 and a half 1000000 people of a population greater than 21 of the 50 us states might close to half 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 prep schools in the us. and i read in and over was covered prominently there and it said they had 7 indoor basketball court that, that made, that made it very, very as a wow with

i had like a shark skin suit, which i thought was so cool. and 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 on take maybe 10 steps, some guy goes you know, that's the 1st time i'd heard that word. let alone addressed me when i went up and slapped him in the face, you know as hard as i could just why. and he was so shocked that he didn't do anything. and i went into the, to the court room to hang up my coat and then go into the dining room. and, you know, i said, holy, what have i gotten myself with

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 with just months after window rico's 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 1917, the jones act made point. duncan's us citizens are like, ok, we're gonna make you american citizens,

which you didn't ask for even if we were offered citizenship with happened, we would prefer are wrong with you guys in line for a robin. the statue applies to robin. i don't know if we're supposed to and all i see a lot of people doing it so. oh yeah, there you go. okay. who's next? i do know that. that's not john harvard. no, did no, 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 them. so that's why they say this is the statue of the 3 lies. okay. about the year
