Oscar López Rivera: Resistance and Resilience – Puerto Rico’s Recovery from Debt, Hurricanes, and Colonialism (2/18/2020)
Posted: 2/18/2020 (Local Events)
Oscar López Rivera became a leading figure in the struggle for Puerto Rico independence. He was arrested in 1981, sentenced to 55 years in prison, and regarded as the “Nelson Mandela of the Americas.” As the result of a broad human rights campaign, President Obama commuted Oscar’s sentence and he has resumed his role as an organizer. This lecture is presented in conjunction with the In Plain Sight exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery.
