Sunday, September 21st 2008 at the San Lucas United Church of Christ, 2914 West North Ave., Chicago, IL. You will meet other distinguished members of human rights movements, listen to relevant speakers and enjoy film clips, music and poetry. Even more important, you will be a part of a memorable homage to the Young Lords Movement and to the continued struggle for Puerto Rico and Latino self determination and neighborhood empowerment. Today Humboldt Park runs the risk of losing its Latino population, in the same displacement manner, as it did in the neighborhoods of: Old Town, Lakeview, Wicker Park and Lincoln Park. That is why it is significant that the event is being held in Humboldt Park; also in the midst of a national Immigration Justice Movement. If you want to be a part of this historical and empowerment event; please let us hear from you.
