The Young Lords were a Chicago street gang turned radical political activists. The NY chapter fought for universal health care, working public services, and they tackled poverty in East Harlem. Along the way these young Puerto Rican/Black/Latino/a dissenters collaborated with the Black Panthers, the Young Patriots, STAR and tons of other progressive groups from the era. Listen in to hear the Young Lords steal an x-ray truck to combat TB, takeover a failing hospital, burn giant piles of garbage and fight for Latino/a civil rights.
