Posted @withregram • @nyboricuaresistance Repost from an anonymous member • In honor of this week leading up our national celebration on Sunday and to spotlight some history many folks often don’t know about, I’m doing a short series on the history of Puerto Ricans in NYC. This one is about our migration history. The rest of the series will tackle: -PR labor struggles in NYC -PR independence resistance in NYC -PR Education struggles in NYC -PR Housing struggles in NYC -PR in Arts and Culture in NYC ***edit on the 5th slide*** bottom of second paragraph, it should say “the Federal government begins to sponsor massive migration to NYC, CLAIMING that the primary issue is “overpopulation” in PR…” The primary problem was definitely not overpopulation, it was colonialism and US imperialism as it continues to be today. #PRHistory #PuertoRico #DiásporaEnResistencia #History #CancelTheDebt #RevokePromesa #FreePuertoRico #Immigration #Capitalism #Colonization #DecolonizeThisPlace https://www.instagram.com/p/Cek_gb3uBW5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
