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.
EL Leon mas bravo de Ponce❤ Many Puerto Ricans have been educated in the US ,served in the Armed Forces and experienced racism in many ways.Not only because of skin color because we have light skinned people but also due to our language our accent.I am one of the above.Born in PR,studied in Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne,PA and proudly served in the US Army.I truly hope and pray that this new generation of students graduating from PR universities take it upon themselves to get seriously involved in our islands government in order to get all those corrupted government officials that have been stealing every cent designated for the people out of power and into prison. It's time to get serious.If not PR will be consumed by the illegal drug trade,crime,lack of industrial and manufacturing investment, crumbling infrastructure,health and education services.I have faith,I want to see that positive change before it's my time to go..May the good Lord bless you all! Y que viva Borinquen Bella❤
Thank you so much for presenting the story of our leader Don Pedro Albisu Campos. I am happy to hear his work being noticed, Many modern day Puerto Ricans are Brain washed today . However we continue to experience discrimination and some . Our people need to know this as this history has been taken out of the schools in Puerto Rico and here, even if we are white Puerto Rican or yellow as called in New Orleans, we are discriminated against . I look white , My sisters do not and I have other relatives that when out with them I see how we are looked at. I have been discriminated against for not being white enough by Americans and not being Latin enough by my own people and when I had a black girl friend it was even worst for me with the gringos and gringos I called friends and found out I was being balled a Niger lover behind my back, well I took a stand and glad I did for her and me and every Latin person at my high school back in the day. I could not be happier to hear that Don Pedro Albisu Campos dream to be forgotten . thank you for keeping it alive. I just subscribed to you and I love your way of presenting your story not only a beautiful woman , But so eloquently done. You are now my favorite person here . Thank you
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✌🇵🇷
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?

As a light skinned puertorican with black family members I have never considered myself white. I get slack from some black people who call me white. I know about my taino roots and how black slaves taught the taino Indians how to eat "verdura" which are roots such as potatoes and other starchy foods which are our staple dishes found in our culture today. Even our congas and other musical instruments were taught to us by the black slaves bought to the island to work on the fort of Puerto Rico. Being that the taino Indians diet of fish and coconuts was not enough to keep them strong to be able to work as hard as they were forced to by the invading Spaniards who accompanied Columbus. So I want to thank you for this beautiful informative episode. I just liked & subscribed. Thank you I didn't know Mr. Pedro Albizu Campos went to Harvard. I learned so much from watching your videos. Keep up the good work. 🇵🇷🇰🇪🇬🇳🇨🇫🇿🇦
Was he from Dominican parents? We are not colonized we were parts of Spain because they built cities with universities, hospitals, cathedrals, see Santo Domingo, Méjico, peru, Ecuador, ect.
@@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!
"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.
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!

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!

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!
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.
Honored to give you thanks for this wonderful work. The voice of El Maestro is still living in those who respect his sacrifice for the passion of his life; Puerto Rico.🤗💝🇵🇷
José , from Puerto Rico. I am so proud to see a young lady like you, speaking of such and important figure like Don Pedro Albizu, el Maestro, and with knowledge. You made my day. Few people in USA actually know about him. Thank you so much for educating others about the people of Puerto Rico. One more thing, my dear friend, we are cousins being that we are also Black and proud . My home is your home.
Absolutely fantastic! This information is NOT taught in schools but is out there for learning. The fact that he graduated valedictorian from Harvard University Law school and how the law school leadership prevented his valedictorian speech because it was inconceivable that a black Hispanic man could out perform everyone in law. This taught me never to trust mainstream information but to verify all information. I remember being asked the question, "What has Puerto Rico done for America?" This question stirred my desire to find out. I discovered that Pedro Albizu Campos helped the Irish with their independence and to think the person that posed the question about Puerto Rico was himself an Irish American! We became friends, and I've been reading ever since. My advice to anyone is to not trust anything but to investigate everything. It's not all as it seems. Thank you for this video. The next person to study is Eugenio Maria de Hostos. He was an awesome educator. Hostos Community College in NYC was created in his honor and is recognized in the Dominican Republic, Central and South America.
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.
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.

@@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.
@@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.
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!
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 your time and great efforts in bringing out the knowledge of Albizu Campos. I use to teach myself about the history of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Taino means greetings in arowack which was the Indians that was living on the island when the Spanish came The Indians were yelling Taino meaning greetings to our island. That's a total different class of history.Albizo was a very smart man. Who I give respect to. What he was doing for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is very Kool. But the people wasn't ready for that,only the few he was able to teach and touch the hearts of so many. Wasn't a wise movement at that time Puerto Rico is still a common wealth to the United States of America . History always changes for the better in the presence of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 God Bless you and Thank you again.

We Puerto Ricans appreciate very much your work studying the real history of the Puerto Rican patriots like Don Pedro Albizu Campos. For the next time I suggest you to speak about Puerto Rico as a nation from Latin American and the Caribbean.
Thank you Jazz for this video lecture on Pedro Albizu Campos, our noted Black Gem subject, and among the most historically notable and significant Puertoricans. Who by the way, during his time, would never have been identified as an "Afro-Latino Puertorican, and just simply Puertorican. Nevertheless, significant, given that there are Puertorican families and individuals, who even today, would prefer distancing themselves from their African roots. Thank you for this informative presentation. Keep up the scholarly good work.

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
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.
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
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.👍🏻

As a Puerto Rican and 56 years old. I deeply appreciate your video. You honor the man that gave his life for the freedom of my colonized country. One small thing, my mom was told in school that the US was an allied of Puerto Rico and saved them from Spain. Your research was on point I've done the same research late in my years and discover all this information. Especially the book on the plutonium and the science rat prisoners exposure in the old San Juan jail. Continue bringing wisdom to this generation and hopefully if they seek the true on history they can understand how the US colonization history. Thank you 😉

@@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.
He should be a major person in United States history books just as Martin Luther King is . What a great man . He is important to Puerto Ricans and all should know his story
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 for this video. I'm from PR, born in Ponce as well, and I attended middle and high school in PR. I didn't learn about Albizu until after I was married, which is sad. I'm so happy we're learning more of him today after decades of keeping his story in the dark. Again, thank you for this.
Thank You Beloved for Your Time and Effort on this Informative video.....Peace, Love and Light be upon You and Yours Always. ✊🏽🇵🇷✊🏽 #PedroAlbizuCampos #Orguillo #Boricua #Puertorro #PaQueLoSepang #Wepa
Thank you for rekindling the love and passion of this great man from Puerto Rico and his efforts to make P.R. an independent nation. He suffered by the skin color, academic recognition and liberating fights..
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.
Muchas gracias and well done, Jas! A brief but well summarizes history of Pedro Albizu Campos and his wife, Laura Menses. Every Black and Puerto Rican American citizen should know the history of this great patriot. His only crime was his love and passion for freedom, dignity, and respect for all people from Ireland to India and to his own in Puerto Rico. The atrocities committed against him for wanting the same rights and freedoms as those that oppressed him should never be forgotten but acclaimed. Too long has the country he loved and died for remained in chains of colonialism. The question now is not whether Puerto Rico should be liberated from it captor, the United States of America, but whether the Puerto Rican people have the will and determination to rise up and fulfill its destiny as Pedro Albizu Campos envisioned it. I say it can! Que Viva Puerto Rico. The book, "War Against All Puerto Ricans," by Nelson A. Denis should be a devotional reading for all that hold Pedro Alibizu Campos and his family in their hearts as I do. As I hear Pedro say to my heart and the first line of the original lyrics of La Borinquena, "Desperta, Borinqueno!"
Jas! Your heart is most definitely in the right place for the Puerto Rican people. However, I hold great faith in the intellectual and political abilities of the Puerto Rican people to rise up to their destiny and to be an independent, self-governing, people. Take, for example, Pedro Albizu Campos. He was an intelligent and Harvard-educated man. Let me further quote from Nelson A. Denis' book, "War Against All Puerto Ricans" his accomplishments attesting to the intelligence and capability of the Puerto Rican people: "He was a lawyer, journalist, chemical engineer, and president of the Nationalist Party. He was the first Puerto Rican to graduate from Harvard College and Harvard Law School and spoke six languages. He had served as a first lieutenant in World War I and led a company of two hundred men. He had served as president of the Cosmopolitan Club at Harvard and helped Éamon de Valera draft the constitution of the Free State of Ireland." No, the question is not about economics but whether the Puerto Rican people have the will and determination to rise up and fulfill their destiny as Pedro Alibizu Campos envisioned it and dedicated his life to. While perhaps not an exact comparison in land size and population, Cyprus is an independent country with a high standard of living and a well-developed economy. In short, I neither accept the argument nor the Anglo-imperialistic viewpoint that Puerto Rico is not capable of being an independent and prosperous nation. Jas, for what it's worth, this is just my viewpoint and opinion. However, may I encourage you and others to read Nelson A. Denis' book. And don't ever let anyone tell you what you can accomplish or achieve in life. Dream big, be big, and stand big. Que viva Puerto Rico libre!
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?
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for this video, I'm always interested in the history of my people, My parents where born in P.R. but I was born in the U.S. so I'm always searching for stories about my heritage.
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.
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.
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.
Amazing video. Thank You for it. Pedro dedicated his entire life to the good fight to liberate Puerto Rico. As a born and raised puertorrican, it's shameful how our public and private schools don't teach us our true history. My respect to those who have fought for the independence of PR. Again, thanks for the video.
My Grandfather (90 years/o) whom is Puerto Rican. Has told me stories in the past about Pedro Albizu Campos. He was excited when I showed him your video and he was talking so much during the video about him. You’ve earned a sub. Thank you!🙂👍🏾🤍
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
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 for your interest on don Pedro Albizu Campos. One can only admire the strength and valor of a man who dared declare a war of independence against the the mighty, powerful and wealthy United States of America.
I am a Taino/Borikua born in the U.S. Pero Albizo Campos lost his life in Colonial U.S jails. He was labeled a terrorist (fighting for his captive nation) and horrendously tortured in U.S captivity. He was not perfect, but he died for his people and captive Nation. He is a hero to so many of us. We are still a captive colony. Borikén is still waiting.
Beautiful, sad, lovely history none of us Puerto Ricans old, young forgets. Lives in our hearts for ever. Great for those not knowing our luchas of a real historian man Albizus Campos the #☝️. Thank you for your documentary teaching real struggles in our small island for decades. I'm a very proud Boricua 🇵🇷💯
I remember reading somewhere that when painter Francisco Rodón was working on his famous portrait of a very old don Luis Muñoz Marín, the former governor expressed remorse regarding how don Pedro and other Puerto Rican independence fighters were abused by the U.S. authorities and about his own complicity. The criminalization of the basic desire of every country to be free is such a shameful chapter in our history that books used by the public education system completely ignore it, so most of us grew 'officially' knowing nothing about it. God Bless You, and Thanks for such an illustrative video about an extraordinary human being, a man who should be celebrated as a hero who gave his life pursuing liberty for our island and not as the madman the establishment made us believe he was. Saludos desde San Juan.
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 . 💪🏻🇵🇷
primero hay que educar a la gente. 100 an~os de propaganda imperialista es mucho. cuando la gente supere ese complejo de inferioridad tan rampante entre los anexionistas, entonces la independencia cobrara fuerza
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.
US govt tortured him with radiation yes. He had a stroke on top of that. He was fearless, que viva!
No it wasn't. You literally see worse racism in police bodycam by the perpetrators themselves.
@@whyze1311 that's referred to as barbaric behavior which would make the people you are irrationally worried about correct.
EL Leon mas bravo de Ponce❤ Many Puerto Ricans have been educated in the US ,served in the Armed Forces and experienced racism in many ways.Not only because of skin color because we have light skinned people but also due to our language our accent.I am one of the above.Born in PR,studied in Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne,PA and proudly served in the US Army.I truly hope and pray that this new generation of students graduating from PR universities take it upon themselves to get seriously involved in our islands government in order to get all those corrupted government officials that have been stealing every cent designated for the people out of power and into prison. It's time to get serious.If not PR will be consumed by the illegal drug trade,crime,lack of industrial and manufacturing investment, crumbling infrastructure,health and education services.I have faith,I want to see that positive change before it's my time to go..May the good Lord bless you all! Y que viva Borinquen Bella❤
Great job ! Irish /Irish Americans don’t even know that Mr.Campos helped write the Irish constitution ! Thanks !
😮🙇🏻♀️
😂 yep it was a Latino
to help you Whitey's
a lot of them know, and recognized it. I had that experienced at the UN, when I meet some members of the Irish-american bar association.
Thank you so much for presenting the story of our leader Don Pedro Albisu Campos. I am happy to hear his work being noticed, Many modern day Puerto Ricans are Brain washed today . However we continue to experience discrimination and some . Our people need to know this as this history has been taken out of the schools in Puerto Rico and here, even if we are white Puerto Rican or yellow as called in New Orleans, we are discriminated against . I look white , My sisters do not and I have other relatives that when out with them I see how we are looked at. I have been discriminated against for not being white enough by Americans and not being Latin enough by my own people and when I had a black girl friend it was even worst for me with the gringos and gringos I called friends and found out I was being balled a Niger lover behind my back, well I took a stand and glad I did for her and me and every Latin person at my high school back in the day. I could not be happier to hear that Don Pedro Albisu Campos dream to be forgotten . thank you for keeping it alive. I just subscribed to you and I love your way of presenting your story not only a beautiful woman , But so eloquently done. You are now my favorite person here . Thank you
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✌🇵🇷

Don Pedro reflects the heart and strong will of every Puerto Rican. ¡El Maestro vive!
As a light skinned puertorican with black family members I have never considered myself white. I get slack from some black people who call me white. I know about my taino roots and how black slaves taught the taino Indians how to eat "verdura" which are roots such as potatoes and other starchy foods which are our staple dishes found in our culture today. Even our congas and other musical instruments were taught to us by the black slaves bought to the island to work on the fort of Puerto Rico. Being that the taino Indians diet of fish and coconuts was not enough to keep them strong to be able to work as hard as they were forced to by the invading Spaniards who accompanied Columbus. So I want to thank you for this beautiful informative episode. I just liked & subscribed. Thank you I didn't know Mr. Pedro Albizu Campos went to Harvard. I learned so much from watching your videos. Keep up the good work. 🇵🇷🇰🇪🇬🇳🇨🇫🇿🇦
This was my great uncle. I'm in tears watching this. Knowing his blood runs thru mine keeps my faith going and my mind strong. Where my cousins at?!?
Was he from Dominican parents?
We are not colonized we were parts of Spain because they built cities with universities, hospitals, cathedrals, see Santo Domingo, Méjico, peru, Ecuador, ect.

“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!

Me toooo!! Lol
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.
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.

Thank you for taking the time to educate people about Pedro Albizu Campos and Puerto Rico's struggle with colonialism!!!
Absolutely fantastic! This information is NOT taught in schools but is out there for learning. The fact that he graduated valedictorian from Harvard University Law school and how the law school leadership prevented his valedictorian speech because it was inconceivable that a black Hispanic man could out perform everyone in law.
This taught me never to trust mainstream information but to verify all information.
I remember being asked the question, "What has Puerto Rico done for America?" This question stirred my desire to find out. I discovered that Pedro Albizu Campos helped the Irish with their independence and to think the person that posed the question about Puerto Rico was himself an Irish American! We became friends, and I've been reading ever since.
My advice to anyone is to not trust anything but to investigate everything.
It's not all as it seems. Thank you for this video.
The next person to study is Eugenio Maria de Hostos. He was an awesome educator. Hostos Community College in NYC was created in his honor and is recognized in the Dominican Republic, Central and South America.
Great Job, thank you for keeping the spirit of Albizu alive and spreading truth
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.
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.

@@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.

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 your time and great efforts in bringing out the knowledge of Albizu Campos. I use to teach myself about the history of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Taino means greetings in arowack which was the Indians that was living on the island when the Spanish came
The Indians were yelling Taino meaning greetings to our island. That's a total different class of history.Albizo was a very smart man. Who I give respect to. What he was doing for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is very Kool. But the people wasn't ready for that,only the few he
was able to teach and touch the hearts of so many. Wasn't a wise movement at that time

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
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.👍🏻
"Cuando la tirania es ley, la revolucion es orden"- Albizu
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 VIVA PR LIBRE❤️🇵🇷❤️
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!
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 reporting in our Pedro Albizu Campos.
As a Puerto Rican I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is a beautiful piece of work!!!
As a Puerto Rican and 56 years old. I deeply appreciate your video. You honor the man that gave his life for the freedom of my colonized country. One small thing, my mom was told in school that the US was an allied of Puerto Rico and saved them from Spain. Your research was on point I've done the same research late in my years and discover all this information. Especially the book on the plutonium and the science rat prisoners exposure in the old San Juan jail. Continue bringing wisdom to this generation and hopefully if they seek the true on history they can understand how the US colonization history. Thank you 😉
Puerto Rico needs independence ! 🇵🇷 thank you for taking the time out to share this .
I'm Puerto rican .growing in the US. Thank u for sharing are history
Maestro Albizú i love you and thank you from this puerto rican you will never be forgotten!!! I just wish my brothers and sisters will recognize the sacrifice he did for us!!! “We’re not small,we’re just on our knees” Maestro Albizu
love u maestro, love u.
war against all puerto ricans ,buy it.
love u my people.
@@JoseCruz-hb7uf mi hermano,i read it i just can’t finish it ,makes me sick!!!Is sad that it got to this point and in the island the majority are on their knees,they think eeuu has the best interest but refused to see the reality,the atrocities my island has suffered!!majority of the population are in a comatose state and it breaks my heart!! I’m willing to die for my island but i don’t think the majority are ready to die for me
@@JoseCruz-hb7uf ricans swear they anglos but I’ve witnessed first hand how we’re treated like second class people in eeuu!!! Gentrificación will come by then it’ll be to late!!! PUERTO RICO LIBRE
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
He should be a major person in United States history books just as Martin Luther King is . What a great man . He is important to Puerto Ricans and all should know his story
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 for this video. I'm from PR, born in Ponce as well, and I attended middle and high school in PR. I didn't learn about Albizu until after I was married, which is sad. I'm so happy we're learning more of him today after decades of keeping his story in the dark. Again, thank you for this.
Appreciate someone that have some knowledge about our culture.
Thanks sister.
Thank You Beloved for Your Time and Effort on this Informative video.....Peace, Love and Light be upon You and Yours Always. ✊🏽🇵🇷✊🏽 #PedroAlbizuCampos #Orguillo #Boricua #Puertorro #PaQueLoSepang #Wepa
Thank you for rekindling the love and passion of this great man from Puerto Rico and his efforts to make P.R. an independent nation. He suffered by the skin color, academic recognition and liberating fights..
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.
Muchas gracias and well done, Jas! A brief but well summarizes history of Pedro Albizu Campos and his wife, Laura Menses. Every Black and Puerto Rican American citizen should know the history of this great patriot. His only crime was his love and passion for freedom, dignity, and respect for all people from Ireland to India and to his own in Puerto Rico. The atrocities committed against him for wanting the same rights and freedoms as those that oppressed him should never be forgotten but acclaimed. Too long has the country he loved and died for remained in chains of colonialism. The question now is not whether Puerto Rico should be liberated from it captor, the United States of America, but whether the Puerto Rican people have the will and determination to rise up and fulfill its destiny as Pedro Albizu Campos envisioned it. I say it can! Que Viva Puerto Rico. The book, "War Against All Puerto Ricans," by Nelson A. Denis should be a devotional reading for all that hold Pedro Alibizu Campos and his family in their hearts as I do. As I hear Pedro say to my heart and the first line of the original lyrics of La Borinquena, "Desperta, Borinqueno!"
It would be a terrible mistake for Puerto Rico to become independent, its economy would crumble and there would be abject poverty on par with Cuba.
Jas! Your heart is most definitely in the right place for the Puerto Rican people. However, I hold great faith in the intellectual and political abilities of the Puerto Rican people to rise up to their destiny and to be an independent, self-governing, people.
Take, for example, Pedro Albizu Campos. He was an intelligent and Harvard-educated man. Let me further quote from Nelson A. Denis' book, "War Against All Puerto Ricans" his accomplishments attesting to the intelligence and capability of the Puerto Rican people:
"He was a lawyer, journalist, chemical engineer, and president of the Nationalist Party. He was the first Puerto Rican to graduate from Harvard College and Harvard Law School and spoke six languages. He had served as a first lieutenant in World War I and led a company of two hundred men. He had served as president of the Cosmopolitan Club at Harvard and helped Éamon de Valera draft the constitution of the Free State of Ireland."
No, the question is not about economics but whether the Puerto Rican people have the will and determination to rise up and fulfill their destiny as Pedro Alibizu Campos envisioned it and dedicated his life to.
While perhaps not an exact comparison in land size and population, Cyprus is an independent country with a high standard of living and a well-developed economy.
In short, I neither accept the argument nor the Anglo-imperialistic viewpoint that Puerto Rico is not capable of being an independent and prosperous nation.
Jas, for what it's worth, this is just my viewpoint and opinion. However, may I encourage you and others to read Nelson A. Denis' book. And don't ever let anyone tell you what you can accomplish or achieve in life. Dream big, be big, and stand big. Que viva Puerto Rico libre!
Gracias por educarnos un poco mas sobre la vida de EL MAESTRO 🇵🇷
Outsiders know nothing of our history and the people inside only know half of it. Thank you for the video.
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?
Thank you for taking the time to do this powerful documentary with means a lot for us Puertorican. It’s the second time i listened to this documentary
What a great job you did here. Thanks. You hit the jackpot with your food selection. Next time ask for mofongo.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for this video, I'm always interested in the history of my people, My parents where born in P.R. but I was born in the U.S. so I'm always searching for stories about my heritage.
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.
Great job on telling his story,and thank you for your courage!!!God bless you
Thank you for the video, I can share this with everyone right here in the island of Puerto rico.
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🤺
Thank you for creating and sharing this. May his sacrifices for Puerto Rico never be forgotten. Puerto Rico no se venden. 🇵🇷 ❤
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
Amazing video. Thank You for it. Pedro dedicated his entire life to the good fight to liberate Puerto Rico. As a born and raised puertorrican, it's shameful how our public and private schools don't teach us our true history. My respect to those who have fought for the independence of PR. Again, thanks for the 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.
Thank you so much for making this video 💯🦾
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!
Thank you so much for sharing knowledge of our culture!!
Thank you for your voice in this presentation.💯 He was a humanitarian and a patriot.
My Grandfather (90 years/o) whom is Puerto Rican. Has told me stories in the past about Pedro Albizu Campos. He was excited when I showed him your video and he was talking so much during the video about him. You’ve earned a sub. Thank you!🙂👍🏾🤍
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.
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?
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!
Awesome Albizu was a freedom fighter for all puertorricans. I have some great books of his history. Thanks for this awesome video
Thank you for your interest on don Pedro Albizu Campos. One can only admire the strength and valor of a man who dared declare a war of independence against the the mighty, powerful and wealthy United States of America.
Awesome bio, love the hair. Thanks for educating the people about our Puerto Rican struggle❤️
I am a Taino/Borikua born in the U.S. Pero Albizo Campos lost his life in Colonial U.S jails. He was labeled a terrorist (fighting for his captive nation) and horrendously tortured in U.S captivity. He was not perfect, but he died for his people and captive Nation. He is a hero to so many of us. We are still a captive colony. Borikén is still waiting.
Beautiful, sad, lovely history none of us Puerto Ricans old, young forgets. Lives in our hearts for ever.
Great for those not knowing our luchas of a real historian man Albizus Campos the #☝️.
Thank you for your documentary teaching real struggles in our small island for decades. I'm a very proud Boricua 🇵🇷💯
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
God bless you lady. For the job you doing about the truh of the real story of us, the Puerto Rican. I love you
Excellent job in a short presentation ! Keep up the solid work ! I appreciate this !
I remember reading somewhere that when painter Francisco Rodón was working on his famous portrait of a very old don Luis Muñoz Marín, the former governor expressed remorse regarding how don Pedro and other Puerto Rican independence fighters were abused by the U.S. authorities and about his own complicity. The criminalization of the basic desire of every country to be free is such a shameful chapter in our history that books used by the public education system completely ignore it, so most of us grew 'officially' knowing nothing about it.
God Bless You, and Thanks for such an illustrative video about an extraordinary human being, a man who should be celebrated as a hero who gave his life pursuing liberty for our island and not as the madman the establishment made us believe he was. Saludos desde San Juan.
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..🇵🇷
Thank you for passing the candle our history is not forgotten much love
✊🏾✊🏼🇵🇷BORICUA🇵🇷✊🏻✊🏿
Freedom to the Homeland
primero hay que educar a la gente.
100 an~os de propaganda imperialista es mucho.
cuando la gente supere ese complejo de inferioridad tan rampante entre los anexionistas, entonces la independencia cobrara fuerza
Excellent. Congratulations. I am puertorican from Ponce born and raised and I know the history. Most accurate.
