Описание к видео Revealing history: DePaul honors Young Lords’ legacy in Lincoln Park

Jaqueline Lazú, a Society of Vincent de Paul Professor and associate dean in DePaul University's College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, discusses the Young Lords, a street gang turned activist organization who fought against gentrification and displacement of the Puerto Rican community in the 1960s in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In May 1969, they occupied the McCormick Theological Seminary's Stone Administration Building under the banner of the Poor People's Coalition to demand support for the poor people and people of color with roots in Lincoln Park.
