The Young Lords were street gang formed by Puerto Ricans in Chicago that evolved into a diverse revolutionary civil rights group active during the 1960s and 1970s. Its platform included Puerto Rican independence, freedom of political prisoners, and withdrawal of military troops from Puerto Rico, Vietnam, and other areas. The Young Lords also advocated for change in their local communities. Although the Young Lords began in the Puerto Rican community, the group’s goals of civil rights and social justice attracted members from African American and other Latino populations. This sub-series contains materials documenting the Young Lords Movement, including photographs of Jose “Cha Cha” Jimenez, a leader of the Young Lords, as well as a Young Lords banner.
