Puerto Rican Leader Pedro Albizu Campos

- This video looks at Pedro Albizu Campos' time at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, and how his experiences here influenced his future activism for Puerto Rico. I have a couple of corrections to make from the time I made this video:
#1- In 1897 Spain gave Puerto Rico "la carta autonomica" which is not exactly the same thing as full independence. It gave Puerto Rico the right to self government. This was short lived because of the US invading Puerto Rico during the Spanish American War. Spain had to give up Puerto Rico to the US at the end of the war as part of the Treaty of Paris.
#2 Pedro was not the first Latin American graduate of Harvard, he was the first Puerto Rican graduate of Harvard's Law School.
#3 According to Rosa Meneses Albizu Campos, Pedro Albizu Campos was born June 29, 1893. The confusion about his birthdate comes from his mother Juliana had a child named Pedro Sept 12, 1891 who she registered in Ponce that died, and after that she did not register when Pedro Albizu Campos was born.
No disrespect is intended with Spanish and Taino words mispronounced in the video.

Don Pedro reflects the heart and strong will of every Puerto Rican. ¡El Maestro vive!
"Los jovenes tienen el deber a defender su patria con las armas del conocimiento." - Albizu
✊🏾🥑 [FLVR]
Such a great quote from Don Pedro! I agree with the sentiment, and that's part of why I'm making these videos.
@@BlackGemsUnearthed And you have no idea how grategul I am that you made this video. Alot of Latin@ have no idea who Albizu was and what he stood for. Very few Puerto Ricans of this generation know their history and if you ask Americans from that time, they labeld him a "terrorist" when in actually he was fighting against American imperialism and fighting for Puerto Rican pride and identity.
@@thesolefritonetwork6291 I hear you... this information is still not taught in schools for the most part. I'm so thankful for Nelson Denis' book "War Against All Puerto Ricans: Revolution and Terror in America's Colony". Talk about an eye opener!
Thank you so much for the specific book suggestion! This is so helpful.
"Cuando caminamos con firmeza, dejamos huellas que ni el viento ni los años podrán borrar". --Albizu Campos ¡¡Viva 🇵🇷!! I live my life with these words, especially living in Utuado, PR.
Don Pedro albizu Campos did not ask for respect for the people Puerto Rico he demanded it one of Puerto Rico greatest Patriot thank you for your great video about the Don Pedro✌🇵🇷

@@luisav.deltororeyes7467 She's bringing him to our and the U.S.A.'s attention and she's a Black American, more than most PR's do or have done to bring sunlight to our struggles. Who cares that she doesn't know about 'Don'?
I’m totally embarrassed because I’m Puerto Rican. I was born in Puerto Rico but immediately moved to USA at age of 3months. As Puerto Rican
I taught myself the music (great dancing music, not cultural ) I also taught myself to cook. I have yet to learn about other folks who paved the path for us.it amazes me the price we have and continue to pay as a consequence for not being “white” or “privileged “ its always the same thing
“Let’s see how much we can get out of you,them” I’m proud of my little island, my culture, food,music,etc. most of all I’m proud of the color of my skin because its the Puerto Rican color!
Amazing 17 minutes. This woman amazes me with this info... precise and concrete. Thank you for enlighten those who doesn't know or are mai informed.

Thank you for educating the world about Puerto Rican history. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Gracias!
❤❤Gracias Boriken ❤❤
Thank you, 🙏🏾💗Thank you for your marvelous effort to make Don Pedro Albizu Campos documentary. I’m proud of our hero.✊🏾🇵🇷🇵🇷✊🏾
Don Pedro is beloved by all Puerto Ricans and Latin America. He was a brave man that confronted the imperial power of the United States. His legacy is the stuff of legends. He was our Dr Martin Luther King (that huge!). Thank you for bringing out his history for all to learn. Great documentary. Love you for that! Suscribed!
No he was our Malcom X
While I have complete respect, admiration, and reverence for Albizu, and what he went through, it's sad to say that he is NOT beloved by all Puerto Ricans. A lot of Puerto Ricans, especially the older generation, see him as a no good trouble maker. It breaks my heart to say it, but I have found it to be true. And yes, as Santo the Ephraimite says, Albizu was more of our Malcolm X.
Albizu Campos came before Martin Luther King and Malcolm and he was neither.. He was Pedro Albizu Campos period.. A prodigy child who evolved into a great mind oh and he spoke around 8 languages..
@@coquireport The way I heard it, he was an orphan, kinda tended to by his aunt. Supposedly he didn't start school until he was 12 years old, and graduated high school on time. Then ended up in Harvard Law, where he graduated first in his class. That is definitely some PRODIGY stuff right there. Brilliant man too brave for his own good, with the heart of a lion, and the supreme example of patriotism.
Thank you for giving this man the light
I’m a proud Boricua who was born and raised in the US. I wasn’t educated on any Puerto Rican history. It wasn’t until I went to college that I started educating myself on what’s been done to the island and what the US has done. I loved your video. So informative. Sharing it. Thank you!
I almost got into a huge father because he never talked about stuff like this and he didn't care to talk about it. Granted that I was already a grown man by the time I found out about this but sadly I did react immaturely. But it's because I was so passionate about the information that was discovering from not just don Pedro but other Hispanic figures from other cultures. Simon Bolivar is basically the George Washington of Latin America and liberated five countries.
Sonia i will say as a black American in my 50s who became aware of the late hon. Pedro albizu campos as a younger man activist in the cause of my own black American plight i have learned along time ago that one can never stop learning until one make that transition from what we know humanly as life which is one reason I'm going back to school to better myself, however this video gave me more insight on campos than what i basically know about him and also your cultural struggle for Puerto rican liberation . And being originally from the u.s. Midwest i also had the privilege of opportunity of being raised on the eastcoast in Manhattan and the Bronx around Puerto ricans and other Hispanic cultures particularly closer to puerto ricans and thats when i subconsciously begin to understand that puerto ricans and black americans have more of a common struggle as minorities in the u.s. then black americans like myself have with any other minority group in this nation even if their indigenous or immigrants. And the more i learn about puerto rican culture along with the history of enslaved africans on the island of Puerto Rico which pedro campos is also a descendant of it helps me to understand that u.s. black slave descendants and afro puerto ricans or puerto ricans in general have more of a common bond in the struggle then i thought. Also i must say that I'm guilty to a certain point of boxing puerto ricans in with the rest of latino american cultures who have a tendency to dispise and hate black americans more, and infact that hate puerto ricans because of Puerto rican's common bond experience with black americams. I know relations between black americans and Puerto ricans in this nation has not always been perfect either, but i honestly see that its a more obvious closer connection in the bond of struggle between u.s. blacks and Puerto ricans like i said before than u.s. blacks have ever had with any other minority group of people in this country and with that said its came across to me by a puerto rican locally here where i live in the midwest and even other people that it wouldnt be a bad idea to relocate to puerto Rico and its a wave of black americams relocating to Puerto rico to also get away from racial unrest political crisis on the u.s. mainland. Although i will keep doing research on Puerto rico and its people and culture which recent revelations like this video has inspired me do. But if you got imput that can bring more awarenesa to me on Puerto rico and its culture please dont hesitate to five me a reply. And whatever i may be i will be openwd minded to it.
Sonua apologize for a couple of misspellings in my last comment ,although i expect that you will understand my points from my last comment.

This is very emotional for me. We also have our Paine, Washington, Mandela, Gahndi. My Grandpa participated in the Huelga de la Caña in 1935 and spent 4 days in jail. The persecución was brutal. Great work. Thanks. Viva Don Pedro Albizu!
Wow! Thanks for sharing about your grandfather. I can't imagine what being in that protest was like, or the time spent in jail.
He was a good man who graduated harvard, opened a knights of columbus chapter
there, served honorably in the army and advocated for the livelihood of his people.
Here in the island people disrespect him cause they don't know his story. It's fucked up how he literally died hoping that Puerto Rico could stand on its own, yet now a days people don't care and still wanna join the US. There's no historical or reasonable excuse to join the US.

#YOSOYPEDROALBIZU
@@ramonvazqueztorres7207 I understand your pain and share it too. However, the complexity of the puertorrican history is much deeper than just saying that we don’t appreciate Don Pedro. You need to keep in mind that there are very few other territories in the world that have been so bombarded with all kind of foreign cultures. First there were the Spaniards, for more 400 years and then The USA. It’s been over 500 years of Interaction with all kind of thinking. We all should feel proud that we “los puertorriqueños” still have our own and unique culture. I guess that after all if Don Pedro can see us from the sky, he would be proud of us and if he could send fire from the sky to hit the USA he will also do that.
Don’t forget he helped Northern Ireland gain independence as well
@@ericpizarro3084 factz.the first white house was in puerto rico.europe brought alot of pestilence ,Alot lf history is twisted like boriken was part of meso america which connects to maya people.ancient ...how do we know because once the millitary occupied puertorico to steal the natural resources as the millitary did the same exact thing in the sister islands.using the divide and conquer tactics via colorism .which is eurocentric colonializational methods.aruaca arawak if you do study on languages u find the correct historical events.fruits and vegetables even the rocks will cryout and see .noway every indigeousness people all came from africa...tol many parts de puerto rico that is indigeousness names thats how you know that the moriscos or muslims came from spain..not all came as slaves ..origin .simple cause and effect.one leads to another and than another.
Great Job, thank you for keeping the spirit of Albizu alive and spreading truth
Wow, great information. I was 100% unaware of him. No, I'm not Puerto Rican, but I am interested in all things involving people of color. One things is constant, the fight for freedom against oppression.
he was Puerto Rican
Stefluva62, for us the “puertorriqueños” Don Pedro was like what MLK was for you all. History played wrong for him.
@@ericpizarro3084 I totally respect that. I enjoy learning about history and other cultures, especially anything with connections to Africa. Gracias
@@Stefluva62 well then if you have Netflix, and haven’t watch the serie “La esclava blanca”. I strongly recommend it to you. It’s based on the history of the black Latinos slaves that were brought by the Spaniards by 15 & 16 century. It’s the Spanish version of Roots. There are some romantic scenes between the two main characters but, lots of history based on actual facts that happened on that time.
@@ericpizarro3084 Hmmm, 'the white slave', ok. thanks for the recommendation. Much love
Thank you for been a voice for those who are afraid of speak.
Our island is the Birth Place of so many Brave smart people. Rich in History 🇵🇷🇵🇷 we need to represent it well
Thanks from the bottom of my heart! I’m from Ponce and remember my parents listening to the radio in 1950 They were crying and very sad . They used to belong to this movement and my dad kept the newspapers relating what happen, he kept them until his death in 2001, when I gave them to a friend who used to admire him. Of corse he was @lso my hero. Great job.
Wow, thank you for sharing about your family. It's incredible to hear people's personal stories connected to this history. That past really never is in the past.

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this.
Like a thorn dug deep in my heart, the pain and anger mutually exist. This man was great. He saw and fought for something he believed in. The injustice in this country existed now and then. Tears flow down my eyes, just like many of the older generation who knew the struggle to keep your country. These tears transform and thrust up against the shores of Borinken daily as a reminder . Some days like a raging storm, other days like the calm seas of the Caribbean. Religion,music,,art,dance, even politics is what gives identity and more important culture! What we, The Puerto Rican’s have, just like other islands and countrys is called culture! The colonialism could never take that, but truly wish they had their own. Thank you for enlightening us with this brief yet truthful documentary. You have stirred up emotions that I had quelled over time. It still feels good to know that tears mean feelings, and they are true. Time to remove that thorn, spread the word and remind our youth of our culture and history, not the diluted version that has been passed around. EL MAESTRO, lives in me!
Very well said 👍 🇵🇷
I also cry with anger and with joy because of the injustice and joy because ALBIZU was there for our nation VIVE PUERTO RICO LIBRE
Very impressive comment 👍 well said.
Yet PR keeps electing PNP. The spirit of independence is almost completely gone.
@daver2964
This comment perfectly expresses my sentiments.
You made me cry. Gracias por compartir.
As a Puerto Rican, I thank you for sharing this information. While I might not agree with some of his ideas I do have great respect for the man and I wish my own country would share and teach more of his importance in our island's history. Unfortunately, the island still struggles with the territorial status.
All his ideas were great! The U.S. should of never been Assassinated Puerto Ricans from day 1.
The next time I go to Puerto Rico I'm going to visit this man's grave. I will make sure that this man legacy lives in the era of post millennials. The government really doesn't want kids born after the year 2000 to find out about people like this. They will be mortified if they remember his name
Don't forget the Latin men who fought in Vietnam. They were enormously brave and heroic.
It was the Korean war and those men, The 65th Infantry, The Boriqueneers, were the ONLY segregated unit in the U.S. armed forces as every single remember was/os Puerto Rican. Puerto Ricans have forget in EVERY U.S. war, fue i.e., Augusto Rodriguez, Civil War. Our history is rich n one to be truly proud of.
We Puerto Ricans have fought in just about every war that the USA has been engaged in and have lost so many lives. Yet here we are in the year 2021 and we mainlanders can not vote for a US President. Shame, shame, shame.
Puerto Rican served in World War 1< in World War II< Korea> Vietnam> and so on🤺
As a Puerto Rican, it's hard no to sympathize with Pedro Albizu Campos. The man lived in an era, were racism, and prejudice was at another level. What people complain about today, it's nothing compared to what he experienced back then, at the turned of the 20th century. I am pretty sure Albizu Campos, was not a revolutionary man when he arrived at Cambridge, MA. But eventually became one when he saw and experienced, the injustices and treatment of the United States, toward their own African- American citizens. I believe, that's what gave him the burning desired, to go back to his people and tell them the truth. "If African- Americans, born and raised in the United States, are treated that way, just imagine how we Black- Latinos are going to be treated." He was too smart, for his own good. Very sad, how his live ended in a little dungeon in Puerto Rico. I believe, he was actually exposed to radiation, and tortured. We will always remember him as a Patriotic man, who fought for the rights, and dignity of his people! R.I.P.
It's time to stop remembering and start fighting by any means necessary.
I'm Puerto rican .growing in the US. Thank u for sharing are history
He actually won the Nobel prize but they never gave it to him because of his skin color and they said he was not an American citizen pure racism pure evil I commend you for doing this document thank you great job
Thank you. Gracias. I used to hear his speaches recordings because of a neighbor teacher who played them real loud.
Thank you for taking the time to educate people about Pedro Albizu Campos and Puerto Rico's struggle with colonialism!!!
Wow! Tremendo documental.Conoci personal mente al nieto que tenia su mismo nombre hace mas de 20 años atras en una iglesia en CT. Musico / Guitarra tremendo hombre muy humilde.👍🏻

What a great job! Thank you very much for this wonderful segment of Puerto Rican history. Well done!
As a Proud Puerto Rican and a Machetero! I’m actually pretty impressed by this presentation on Albizu Campos
BTW death was also a consequence of the Gag Law-53
I wouldn’t advertise the Machetero membership. The FBI has a looooong memory
Suave con lo del machetero papi q las cosas están crispi
So it is wrong for 7Fierce Rivera to call himself a Machero but it’s ok for the Qanon to invade the WH, kill 5 people, create the worse riot in the present history of the USA! Common guys give me a break! 7Fierce keep been as proud as you are! I don’t see anything wrong with your beliefs. I might be different from you but NEVER your enemy’
Orgulloso también,mi solidaridad con los macheteros!!! El movimiento nunca morirá.. tampoco nos olvidamos del comandante Ojeda Ríos que fue asesinado por la fbi!!solo por querer libertad nos quitaron a dos hombres bien importantes para el movimiento de la independencia. Descansen en poder comandante Ojeda Ríos y Maestro Albizu Campos
Thank you for doing this... Much appreciated.
Omg thank you so much for making such a real and accurate history on Pedro
Not so accurate. Saying the people of Puerto Rico wanted independence is not accurate. Percentages of pro independence votes and other indicators of support are well documented. Albizu Campos was admired by all, but support for his ideas was not generalized.
Gracias por tan valiosa informacion. Pena me da que en la historia de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 no este plasmada la vida y la lucha de Don Albizus Campos . Muy orgullosa de este valioso patriota . 💪🏻🇵🇷
No enseñan la historia de Pedro Albizu Campus porque era independentista. Triste pero cierto.
If only they knew..🇵🇷
Appreciate someone that have some knowledge about our culture.
Thanks sister.
Kudos to you a fantastic mini documentary.
Great job on telling his story,and thank you for your courage!!!God bless you
THIS IS AWESOME and I will share because many of my people (puerto ricans) don't know about El Maestro! A biopic would be awesome!
Please do we all appreciated if you teach them about been a Puerto Rican thank you
Thank you for this wonderful video. We all need to have the stories that have been neglected by our “educators” told. Keep on rocking it.
Thank you for this presentation.
I’m puertorrican and you just taught me things about him that I didn’t know. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Please pass this to your children never let them forget. I was raise in this country but my parents always told us you are Puerto Rican and they teach us how to write and speak spanish. So please don't let the young people forget who they are.
As a native of any Country, there is the obligation to first and above all learn your true true history to them be able to enjoy/understand the history of other nations
This young lady is bringing awareness. She is recognizing the right people. Show her respect. And those who feel and bothered about her saying afro-latino she is right. You only show how uneducated and biased you are with your racist tone. I also subscribed.
True, do you have any thoughts on the PR history censorship?
I have a friend who is puerto rican and told me that we come from Spain. I took one look at her and told her im not from Spain. I told her that i was taught and told that my ancestors from the puerto rican island was Taino indians and told that my blood was also African. Im from the Caribbean. Told her to take a DNA test and she would see the Atlantic slave trade in her blood. DNA dont lie.. She took a DNA and she comes from three different parts of Africa. A tiny bit of Europe.
Woow, Pedro Albizu Campos, is my hero,so many truth he spoke back then is going on now, thank you so much for this documentary
what do you think of the fact that many PR history books are locked away in la Fortaleza unless their writers sue? Or the fact that so little amount of history book editions are published in PR?
@@pgum123gonowplayread4 that's how they keep my country under their control by keeping the true information from the people,uneducated!!

Interesante video, en inglés, sobre la vida de Don Pedro Albizu Campos, narrada por una afroamericana,desde sus años de gloria academica en Harvard;hasta su regreso a- P R- para integrarse a luchar por la libertad patria.
Gracias! Quiero ayudar más gente a saber de Pedro Albizu Campos. Veo mucha información en español, pues decidí a poner la información en inglés. Pero tal vez debería agregar una traducción…tengo que ver igual cómo hacerlo.
@@BlackGemsUnearthed por favor, empieza con dejar de decir "afro latino". Ese término, para nosotros, es una falta de respeto. Es un término, que crea división entre nosotros, los boricuas. El maestro, como usted misma explicó, fue un hombre, de varias razas. Y es eso, lo que orgullosamente nos hace BORICUA!
@@randee4550 yo habia oido afro caribeño. Yo no me siento ofendido si me llaman asi. Venimos de África y america latina, hispanoamerica, hispanoparlantes. Nunca he vivido en NY, ni en Chicago, ni en Kissimee. Yo vivo en Puerto Rico y aquí si le dicen a una persona "afrolatino" y se molesta, y algunos se van a ofender, es porque son racistas.
@@rolandolaserie6935 con esa respuesta, me imagino que deberás ser muy joven. Eso de "afro latino", es una mierda nueva, de los mileniales. Eso nunca se ha usado, y obvio, tengo que ser décadas más viejo que tu. Soy de NYC, viví e la isla, y he vivido, y visitado 26 países, incluso África. Ése termino es de los mileniales, e inventado, por afro americanos. Nada que ver con racismo, y todo que ver con ignorancia.
@@randee4550 gracias por la aclaracion. No sabia. Yo no soy de la diaspora. Nunca he vivido en EEUU. Tiene razon. Eso no nos define a los puertorriqueños. No me ofende pero si es un disparate. Quien se inventó eso no sabe nada de historia de Puerto Rico.
This is very important info concerning Puertorican struggle against US tyrannical dominance over the people of Puerto Rico. Thank you.
Por qué el partido PNP es uno de los más dominantes en Puerto Rico?
Carne frita with tostones are the best! Thank you so much for taking your time to explain a little bit of El Maestro life! Albizu Vive!
Muchísimas gracias por este video Reyna👸🏽
Great video about The Great Albizu Campos 🇵🇷
Great presentation!
Your hair is BEAUTIFUL btw.
Ahora que el sistema colonial de Puerto Rico cayó al terminar la Guerra Fría y el país dejó de tener importancia geopolítica, las palabras de Pedro Albizu Campos están más vigentes que nunca. Sus palabras fueron proféticas y su figura se hace cada vez más grande mientras el colaborador de Estados Unidos: Luis Muñoz Marín se achica. El tiempo es implacable y pone a cada uno en el lugar que le corresponde. Pedro Albizu Campos es el mártir de la independencia de Puerto Rico y la figura principal del siglo XX.
Awesome Albizu was a freedom fighter for all puertorricans. I have some great books of his history. Thanks for this awesome video
Excellent work. Always I wanted hear more the life of Albizu when he lived in Massachusetts
Thank you!
war against all puerto ricans, buy It.
Wow very interesting thank you for the information.
What a great job you did here. Thanks. You hit the jackpot with your food selection. Next time ask for mofongo.
As a Puerto Rican I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is a beautiful piece of work!!!
wow just thank you ,i am puerto rican and you cannot believe how his history is ignore by the masses,i than you for this.
We already know our history
@@lonewolf5973 stop lying. All Puerto Ricans don't know about Pedro Albizu Campos. Be happy she spreading love & knowledge
@@annettecotto1088
Real Puerto Ricans do
@@lonewolf5973 Some Real Puerto Ricans don't! Fake Puerto Ricans think Luis Munoz was good. But he was the junkie that sold Puerto Rico for his drugs. Period!
Albizu was a smart guy he could've opened a small law firm and he
would've gotten steady work with his credentials after all he was a harvard
graduate & an army veteran yet he still risked losing everything for his beliefs.
Ok, and what is your point? That he was a patriot or a fool? With all due respect, is not about his or mine beliefs. It’s about what is right and what isn’t. Pedro was murdered in prison by the US Government.
Guardsman the difference between you and Pedro Albízu Campos is that you're a selfish human being that only thinks about $$$ and your personal gain in life. Pedro Albízu Campos was a greater man, selfless, sacrificing his life and many things for the well being of others. He had moral, selfless beliefs, humility, a lot of things you and many people don't have now-a-days.
I am from Ponce, Puerto Rico and my grandparent grow up with Albizu Campos nephews and to my knowledge; Dr. Campos did have it a law office in Ponce and the goverment saw that he have it alot political power and alot of prominent puertorican people of the time respected him that much that they saw him as a leader specially all over the south of Puerto Rico and it was out of fear of his political views and power that the american goverment treated him the way they did, even try it to kill him a couple of time and after of some part of that is in part how the " Matanza de Ponce " happen just because he was seen all the injustice that was happening in Puerto Rico but must in Ponce where he was from and from where he started his independence movement...God bless Pedro Albizu Campos alway...
@@galeon3271
Yes he was an impressive individual.
The americans tried to kill him since
he was a very well informed man and
he wasn't a political sellout like marin.
@@KalEl1358 You earn my respect bless you and your family.
Excellent job in a short presentation ! Keep up the solid work ! I appreciate this !
Thank you for honoring Don Pedro.
Thank you so much for creating this video. This is really great content.
One the most revered patriots of my land for those of us that believe in freedom.
Thanks for this wonderful presentation
Thank you for your great presentation!
Thank you for unearthing Puerto Rico most important patriot’s history and his contribution
As a Puerto Rican and African-Descendant, I am eager for Albizu's mythological figure to receive the recognition that it deserves. This video essay definitely contributes to that. Thank you!
Outstanding video! Thank you for sharing that knowledge with so many that did not know. It is a very good video, just look at how many here didn't even know who Campos was!
Thank you! His story must be told.
Muchas gracias por presentar a nuestro Gran Lider y Heroe de la patria!✊🏿
Thank you for your voice in this presentation.💯 He was a humanitarian and a patriot.
Thank you for including El Maestro, Don Pedro Albizu Campos for black history. He is a hero on the island and every Puerto Rican should learn about him.
Very inspiring Thank You a lot of people don’t acknowledge
Thanks, I'm proud puertorrican. I love pedro and not many people in the island realize that he gave his life for his people. Thanks for talking about that great human being. For me he don't got any comparison. No one can be compared to this men. He sacrificed all. Thanks again.
Pd: excuse me if write something wrong
Your welcome! I think you left another comment somewhere to add subtitles. If that was you, I want to let you know I am working on it.
Thank you so much for putting this together!
Love your video on Don Pedro Albizu Campos. Thank you very much to give light on the real story of one of our biggest patriots. You explained quite clearly what still many puertoricans does not know (or refuse to know) about Don Pedro.
My respect, to you, thanks for bring this topic, cuz we Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷
We always been side to side with struggling with the Arican American's
Community Yes Black lives matter
NOPE !!!!
Thank you for this one . appreciate you.
Thank you. As a puertorican, I feel so uneducated about my country and the people who've fought for it. I had no idea Puerto Rico was once independent. This stuff breaks my heart and makes me want to keep learning and keep fighting.
Loved this video. Watched the whole thing! The audio is perfect and the information is great. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Glad the audio is ok since we did have some challenges with the mic!
Ooh-Rah, Hooahh Semper fi
Thank you Jazz for posting this video about one of our Puerto Rican heroes, another Afro-Puerto Rican heroes was Rafael Cordero better known as "El Maestro Rafael" If you could make another documentary, please seek info on him.
Thank you! I'll take a look into "El Maestro Rafael"
On a previuos comment I said that I was going to teach my students about this important afrolatino and I was insulted by some people here. They said that Albizu wasn't black. I can't believe the way they, my own people, treated me. I am so sad.
@@aurabella4749 Well, Albizu Campos was mixed/multi-racial, but I don't see no reason why not teaching it during Black History Month, he's still considered an afro-latino. Good luck Auri
Blessings Queen! Thank you so much for your in-depth research, knowledge and wisdom! It was amazing and thank you for educating the children mamita! 🌈💙🤍
Thank you for sharing this information and hard work to gather all the details!
Puerto Rico needs independence ! 🇵🇷 thank you for taking the time out to share this .
Thank you for your dedication. Great work!
Do an episode on José Celso Barbosa!!!
Another important Puero Rican black gem!
Outstanding my sister!!!! Love your presentation. My sister Norma introduced me to "El Maestro" when I was just 12 yrs old! Everything you've said I've heard pretty much from her and my beloved Grandpa! Love your hair....❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you, GOD BLESS YOU!
I never knew about him, I am glad I do now. Thank you.
Please read about our history don't forget like most of the young people they have forgotton they culture and history.Arriba
This was wonderful. THANK YOU.
yes wonderful.
So happy people are learning real history of Puerto Rico and and our people
Thank you ever so much for this. Please continue your work. Much appreciated.
Thank You that was great! Very proud of you.
The treaty was signed illegally, Puerto Rico was granted autonomous by Spain in 1897 and they didn’t have any saying in that treaty.
