Lares rebellion remembered
Published Sep 27, 2007 11:19 PM
Demonstrators marched from Times Square in New York to the United Nations
headquarters on the East Side on Sept. 23 to commemorate the 139th anniversary
of the Grito de Lares (Cry of Lares), an uprising of Puerto Ricans against
Spanish colonialism in the town of Lares in 1868. It is today remembered by
those struggling against the continued U.S. colonial domination of Puerto
Rico.
