REMEMBER: EL PUEBLO SE LEVANTA AT MCNY

Thursday, March 13th, 6:30PM,  El Pueblo Se Levanta screening at Museum of the City of New York, 104th Street and Fifth Avenue. In the late 1960s, conditions for Puerto Ricans in the United States reached a breaking point. Produced in 1971, the hard-hitting documentary El Pueblo Se Levanta (50 min) focuses on the poverty and oppression of New York City's own East Harlem. Narrated by the people it portrays, the film captures the dual compassion and militancy of the activist group the Young Lords as they began to take direct action to improve the conditions of their community.  More details and online tickets at the museum site: LINK
