With today being the 148th anniversary of El Grito de Lares I decided to do an extra #hispanicheritagemonthspotlight today. My drawing of Ramón Emeterio Betances is a #fanartfriday piece by the @vgbnd Ramón Emeterio Betances y Alacán (April 8, 1827 – September 16, 1898) was a Puerto Rican nationalist. He was the primary leader of the Grito de Lares revolution and is considered to be the father of the Puerto Rican independence movement. The "Grito de Lares" is Puerto Rico's first and only cry for Independence. On September 23, 1868 between 600 to 1000 men revolted for Independence from Spain. Of the arrested most were innocent jíbaros; their only guilt was being passive victims of the political regime. The men were poorly armed without aid, protection or training. The revolt which was planned for September 29th began instead on the 23rd as a result of betrayal. Within 24 hours the revolt, which was twelve years in the planning, was defeated by the Spanish government. The revolt was not a total loss. Shortly after the revolt Spain gave the Island many liberal reforms. It extended to Puerto Rico some of the liberal constitution that it had allowed during the war in Spanish America. Puerto Rico received provincial status and Spanish Citizenship was granted to the criollos. Some political reforms granted were allowing Boricuas to participate in special elections and to organize themselves into officially recognized political parties. Abolition of slavery began slowly in 1869 and was completed in 1873 giving freedom to some thirty two thousand slaves. (In 1827 there were approximately four times the number of free Africans in Puerto Rico than slaves. Partly due to the creole's distaste for slavery, often freeing their own slaves.) The libreta system was also canceled during the same year. Some of these concessions were canceled or changed later on but nevertheless the insurrection was fruitful and resulted in an improved lifestyle for the Puerto Ricans…. Until the United States gained control. #hispanicheritagemonth #elgritodelares #ramonemeteriobetances #puertorico #boricua #despiertaboricua

Culture serves as one of if not the most powerful tools that we can utilize to defeat colonialism. Colonialism's strength lies in its ability to destroy the unique characteristic and nature of the people it wishes to control. The colonizer knows and understands that in order to be successful he must break the individual and his culture in order to implement in its place the culture and attitudes of the colonizer. This allows the notions of superiority of the colonizer to be cemented into the colonized. He, the colonizer, realizes that if the colonized maintain their culture and value system they will never be fully entrenched into the oppressive and inhumane conditioning of colonialism. So long as people are conscious of their uniqueness and identify themselves with it they will fight to liberate themselves. The same way that the colonizer understands their mechanism's importance, so should we who are conscious of their attempts to utilize it be to utilize our weapon of cultural reaffirmation. When we become conscious of who we are we break the limitations and cleanse ourselves of the conditioning of colonialism. By seeking knowledge of self we seek to be liberated. We enable ourselves to see and strive to go beyond the limited and weak position that colonialism places us in. Truth be told, I have been missing my little island and music has a way of transporting me back home so I made a quick 45 minute mix of some of my favorite tracks dedicated to Borinquen. Of course there is a political undertone..their should be. Its all over and far from clean cut, but so is our reality. I have another mix cooked up too. #puertorico #borinquen #pedroalbizucampos #lolitalebron #rafaelcancelmiranda #ramonemeteriobetances #irvingflores #despiertaborincano (at soundcloud.com/christianmartir)
