About this listen

In this episode of "Puerto Rico: A Living History," we explore the pivotal "El Grito de Lares", a watershed moment in the quest for Puerto Rican autonomy that echoes the island's resilient spirit. We trace the roots of this historic uprising to the oppressive colonial practices of the 19th century, highlight the courageous figures like Ramón Emeterio Betances who championed the cause, and reflect on the lasting impact of their quest for freedom on Puerto Rico's national identity. Join us as we dissect the events of 1868 and their profound influence on the island's path to self-determination.
