Dear Friend of Human Rights,

Please accept your V.I.P. invitation to join me, Jose (Cha-Cha) Jimenez and Kathleen Cleaver, Omar Lopez, Carlos Flores, Iris Morales and other community activists at the 40 Year Struggle: Young Lords celebration, to be held from: 2:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. Sunday, September 21st 2008 at the San Lucas United Church of Christ, 2914 West North Ave., Chicago, IL.

You will meet other distinguished members of human rights movements, listen to relevant speakers and enjoy film clips, music and poetry. Even more important, you will be a part of a memorable homage to the Young Lords Movement and to the continued struggle for Puerto Rico and Latino self determination and neighborhood empowerment.

Today Humboldt Park runs the risk of losing its Latino population, in the same displacement manner, as it did in the neighborhoods of: Old Town, Lakeview, Wicker Park and Lincoln Park. That is why it is significant that the event is being held in Humboldt Park; also in the midst of a national Immigration Justice Movement.

If you want to be a part of this historical and empowerment event; please let us hear from you. R.S.V.P. with your email to: nationalyounglords@yahoo.com

Viva el Pueblo,

P.S. To coincide with this important event, De Paul University’s Center for Latino Research is opening for 90 days, the Radicals in Black and Brown photo exhibit, about the Black Panthers and Young Lords, at the John T. Richardson Library on: Friday, September 19th 2008 for 90 days - 773-325-7316 or cir@depaul.edu
