Arts in the City: The Young Lords

One of the most talked about exhibitions this season is a multi-site retrospective on ‪The Young Lords‬, a Puerto Rican revolutionary group in ‪New York City‬. The Young Lords came out of the ‪civil rights era and made a huge impact on the city. Tinabeth Piña profiles this group and the exhibition made possible by The Bronx Museum of the Arts, El Museo del Barrio, and The Loisaida, Inc. Center. Johanna Fernández, PhD, curator of the Bronx Museum exhibit and two former Young Lords, Miguel “Mickey” Melendez and Denise Oliver-Velez are interviewed. The story premiered on CUNY TV’s Arts in the City on November 13, 2015.
