Presente! The Young Lords in New York
The radical social activist group The Young Lords is the subject of the Bronx Museum’s next exhibit. The organization, which came together in the 1960s, advocated for education, housing, healthcare, employment, and police reform in New York City and other metropolitan areas like Chicago. They were a Puerto Rican nationalist group that asserted their identity and organized their community so that they could get proper services and resources from the government. This exhibit is part of a multi-venue cultural survey with El Museo del Barrio and Loisaida Inc. It will feature art and archival materials and opens this Thursday, July 2nd.
