🚫 The Young Lords Party: A Revolution That Went Silent

🗓️ 1970s to 2025: A Testimony from the Inside

🏙️ Back When the Bronx Was Burnin’ and Hope Was Scarce

Yo, lemme take you back. It’s 1970—Lower East Side, NYC. Real grime, no TikToks, no Uber Eats. Just blocks full of Puerto Rican families stuck in broken buildings with no heat, no future, and no one giving a damn.

That’s when I jumped in with the Young Lords Party—not the safe, museum-friendly version folks parade now. I’m talkin’ the real, raw Young Lords. Fists up, boots down. We was deep in it—CDC, “Committee to Defend the Community”—we wasn't just yelling, we was organizing. Running food programs, locking down community centers, and straight pressuring the government to cough up money to feed our own.
