the

of the we went to bed and 2017. the and woke up and it

was 19 o 3. nope. our life. a water. no cell phones. i mean is just like nothing was working. you didn't know how your loved ones were doing except the ones and you had, you need immediate, initiating the hospitalization without power, doctors doing procedures with the flashlight from their cell phones. so once like your on your on 40 on the, the

also brain with the people of where to read. we left with the with and we also love puerto rico the response to maria was really like a poster child of, of the relationship between, you know, puerto rico and, and the united states. the situation in mario is not just created by maria, but what is maria? plays bear the re out edit strips it down to the bare bones. and you can really see that colonialism still exists in a few places. and for today go as one of them, the

directions were gaining tables. so 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 chose ones passed 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 as the protection against the police coming so i was ready to engage in gunfire. the disagreement 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, but close to has to live in poverty. the puerto rico is

a us territory, powerless to challenge options of the united states government that affected people . residents have no vote in congress or in presidential elections. the we had a subscription to time magazine and there was an issue of which the cover story was on prep schools in the us. and i read in and over was covered prominently there and said they had 7 into our basketball course. the very next made it for very eyes while the

i had like a shark skin suit, which i thought was so cool. the 1st time i walk in the dining off maybe half an hour after my parents left. and i felt homesickness. and as soon as i walk into the show and 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 just don't want 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, said, 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, but it was those referring to us for practically, as monkeys in like the brown races and this and that i couldn't wait. and then you had guys like on william jennings, bryan and the anti imperialist, saying this be trays all over the united states has about, well, you know, wait for the colonies, referral for independence, what are we? we're going to become an empire now. the

for over 400 years, puerto rico 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 he goes to 1st election, the united states invaded the item within 10 weeks, hopes of independence were dashed as the island was the next by the us. and then in 1917, the jones made point though he can see us citizens like, okay, we're gonna make you american citizens,

which you didn't ask for even if we were offered a 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 enter and all i see a lot of people doing it. so there you go. ok. who's next? i don't know that. that's not john. harvard know that there's no because he was dead by the time they did that. so some, some you on man paused so the 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 was the statute was a 3 lice. ah, okay. 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 is 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 that was basically made the break for me from being an advocate of peaceful change and thinking that we could change things peacefully. the understanding that these guys had to be for us in a different way. for me, that was the beginning, us from my radicalization of the crowd, man, the people inside the building, the
