Young Lords of Lincoln Park
There was a time, from the late 1940s through the 1960s, when the now-upscale Lincoln Park neighborhood served as the beating heart of Chicago’s huge Puerto Rican community, and the base of operations for a band of Puerto Rican revolutionaries known as the Young Lords. Follow this activist group that evolved from a social club to a street gang to a political force, banding together with the Black Panthers as the Rainbow Coalition to wage war against what they called Mayor Daley’s “urban removal of the poor” and the area’ s eventual gentrification. Audio-narrated descriptions of key visual elements are available.
