YOUNG LORDS ORIGINS

Original Young Lords – Chicago 1969

The Chicago Young Lords, founders of this Latino movement, were the sons and daughters of the first Puerto Rican immigrants. They successfully built a national grassroots movement for self-determination within the Barrios of the United States. It all began when Mayor Richard Daley decided to create an inner city suburb in Lincoln Park and, in the process, displaced the entire neighborhood of the first Puerto Ricans.

Deceased, Italian – Boricua, Angela Navedo

with the Founder, Jose (Cha-Cha) Jimenez
