| Publisher Description: In 1969, a group of young Puerto Rican activists founded the Young Lords Party in New York City, taking inspiration from the Black Panthers. Palante, the first book by and about the radical organization, is brought back into print here with new introductory material. Capturing the spirit and actions of the sixties movements, Palante features political essays by members, oral histories of their lives leading into the party, and more than seventy-five photos of their vibrant membership and actions. Michael Abramson is a photographer and publisher who lives in Brooklyn, New York. Iris Morales is the producer of the documentary Palente, Siempre Palente The Young Lords, which aired on PBS, and is the executive director of the Union Square Awards. |
