PN84: A Night with Young Lords Founder José Cha-Cha Jiménez

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

Today, Lincoln Park is known more for high-end boutiques than political struggle. But in the 1960s, it was home to the Young Lords Organization, a radical Puerto Rican group that fought for social justice. On November 1 José Cha-Cha Jiménez, the founder of the Young Lords, will speak about the history of the organization and explore the ways he has documented their history and the histories of Puerto Ricans in Lincoln Park. This is part of a series of City Bureau Public Newsrooms curated by authors Rayshauna Gray and Daniel Kay Hertz.
