Garbage burning in the street, FBI espionage, and the creation of one of the most influential Latino civil rights groups in American history—this is the story of the Young Lords. Starting in Chicago and spreading to New York, the Young Lords Organization was a radical activist group that fought against oppression in their communities and beyond. Exemplifying a revolutionary activism that is often left out of contemporary history classes, the Young Lords brought about profound change in a short time span, cementing their legacy in Latino History.
