2019 marks 50 years since the the Young Lords Party formed in New York. Join former Young Lords, activists, artists, and supporters to mark this anniversary by highlighting the organization’s legacy and social justice movements today.

In the midst of the African American liberation struggle, Vietnam War protests, and the women's liberation movement, the Young Lords mobilized Puerto Ricans to fight poverty, racism, and injustice.

View articles, films, and books related to the Young Lord's demands for justice, racial and gender equality, decent living conditions, and an end to the colonial status of Puerto Rico.

Join with the Young Lords by organizing your own local event on the theme of “Activism Past and Present.” All events and activities will be posted on this website.
