In 1969, a group of young Puerto Rican activists founded the Young Lords Party in New York, taking inspiration from the Black Panthers. Palante, the first book by and about the radical organisation, is brought back into print with new introductory material. Capturing the spirit and actions of the 1960s, Palante features political essays by the group's original members, oral histories of their lives and more than 75 photos of their membership and actions.
In 1969, a group of young, primarily Puerto Rican activists founded the Young Lords Party in New York City, taking inspiration from the Black Panther Party. Organizing directly in Latino/a communities the Young Lords took up slum housing conditions, garbage clean ups, "serve the people programs," and health care. Dramatic takeovers of institutions such as The People’s Church, where they ran a free breakfast program, and Lincoln hospital, where they held free testing for tuberculosis and lead poisoning brought media and public attention to the socio-economic and political situation of people of color in the United States. They summarized their political beliefs and goals in a 13-point program, published and distributed a newspaper called PALANTE and produced a weekly radio show on WBAI also called PALANTE.
