educational: ?Building the Puerto Rican Movement: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE?.

The Puerto Rican Independence movement has always been alive in New York
City!! It has been young people and young adults that have carried on the
struggle for freedom and revolution!! Come and join us for a night of
Revolutionary Entertainment and Education. Learn about the organizations
that were educating, organizing and mobilizing Boricuas in the Seventies!!

Come and learn about your REVOLUTIONARY ROOTS!! COME AND LEARN ABOUT THE
PAST AND HELP BUILD THE PRESENT AND FUTURE!!

Join us for a Special Presentation by Powerful and inspirational Nuyorican
Poet Rafael Landron!! "Rafi's Newyorican Anti-war Expressions" is an
attempt to inspire others to nurture the growing anti-imperialist movement
using creativity and greatness. The pieces are meant to spur action! For me,
after the performance is as important if not more so than the pieces
themselves because I will encourage folks to get together and organize their
own
expressions of resistance for the future.
