Colonialism is What’s Wrong With Puerto Rico
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
23 Jul 2019
🖨️ Print Article

Progressive Puerto Ricans hope the mass protests that have rocked the colonized island will result in more than just the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rosello, said Daniel Vila, a veteran New York City activist. Some progressives ultimately want to force creation of a “government of national salvation,” encompassing all of Puerto Rico’s political tendencies. Others seek a constitutional convention to end the colonial relationship with the US.
