the directions were going into those a yes, it is possible to resist break the colonized mentality that these guys can be part of that there's nothing we can do to change the situation. the sensor input, the in the 1970s, when once that guy was in his early twenties, he chose to fight for the independence of his homeland. although many,

puerto ricans were angry to buy a lack of political economy. only a small percentage advocated full independence from the united states, even fewer and shows one's past of parent military operations and robbing banks. the last one i did was 33 years ago in the most of the times, my role was us as the protection against the police commons. so i was ready to engage in gunfire if it had to be to protect my comrades from, from getting caught. so i had thought that through

the the island of point the vehicle was 1st colonized by spain in 15 o 8. in 1898. it became a us yet it has retained its own cultural identity. today, nearly 3 and a half 1000000 people. a population greater than 21 of the 50 us states with close to has to live in poverty. the puerto rico is a us territory,

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

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

the for over 400 years for adult eco suffered as a spanish call in but in 1897, spain granted the island, a degree of autonomy. many hopes that this was a step towards independence. but it turned out to the addendum, the just months after point to he goes to the 1st election to the united states invaded the item within 10 weeks, hopes of independence were dashed as the island was a next by the us. and then in 1970 the jones act made for though he can see 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 that. and we would prefer the you guys in line for a rubbing the statue or i don't know we were supposed to, i'm, i know allows the, a lot of people doing it. so there you go. okay. who's next? i don't know that. that's not john harvard's now that is no because he was dead by the time they did that. so some, some young man posed. so all done. okay. um is this a year or is not right. and he wasn't just the founder because he was one of, of a whole lot of so that's why they say this is the statue was a 3 lice. ok. the year the

that was my dorm room window on the top floor there. the, as i looked down that morning i was just starting to be like there was a mist still on the yard which added to this kind of serial quality. and there was a ring of policeman setting up an outer perimeters. i mean, they all had these elements on visors and they set up a gauntlet on, on this door here. and 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. the bigger everybody, i just pulled it on and as, as they brought you down the stairs, a kicking you and hitting you until you got to the battery. i can throw you in the battery where i can fill the padding right and drove it out. and then brought to an extra one of the stuff that was, was basically made the break for me from being an advocate of peaceful change and things in a way to change things peacefully. the understanding that these guys had to be for in a different way. for me, that was the beginning of my radicalization, the crowd, man, the people inside the building,

a bunch of and the government squashed on. in fact, it was the us government policy, the governors policy to push these guys into a corner and get them to a point where it's either give up or go down and fight and so they were pushed into that situation. and then of course, they responded and thought crushed and crushing away that is like, you know, like when they do, when they put the invaders, you know, put down all the freedom fighters, cut their hands off and put them on a place so everybody knows knows that don't mess with the us because this is which waiting for you the,

was approached by somebody i trusted very much and said listen, there saw the underground movement is being organized in puerto rico for independence. and you know, we think you're a good candidate. what it's, i said, yes, the in 1954, 4.3 kids living in new york decide that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for independence. communicating from prison be so campus presents them with admission to bring the fight for independence to the american public. purchases new sunday. dress of the advise one way. tickets to washington dc. then they enter the us capital building while congress is in session lead time.
