The President of Iran isn’t the only one causing trouble at the UN. Yesterday Ricans and many others marched in solidarity with the Rican community to honor el Grito de Lares, September 23rd 1868, traditionally celebrated and commemorated as the birth of the Puerto Rican nation, when Puerto Ricans rose up against Spanish colonial rule in a revolt. In 2005 the FBI took advantage of that date by killing Filiberto Ojeda Rios. The event was also an opportunity to bring attention to the continued colonial status of the island of Puerto Rico.
