Young Lords and The Chicano Movement

The Young Lords was a Puerto Rican Movement that began in NYC. the purpose of the Young Lords was to educate and to care for the community, it provided housing for those in need by occuping churches that were not in use and other buildings and encouraged the Puerto Ricans to stick together. the Young Lords did Theatre for the people to in a way create awareness. much of what they did was similar to what the Chicano Movement did in the Late 1960's and on. the Chicano Movement had similar theatre called Teatro Campesino, and just like the Young Lords, The Chicano Movement made their visibility present by making a change in the community and by creating Marches around the Streets of the Comunidad. Different Groups, Different Looks, Different Areas = Same Struggle.
