PUERTO RICAN NATIONALIST PARTY
The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, led from 1930 by Pedro Albizu Campos, made independence from the United States a matter of national honor — and was answered with massacre, gag law, and some of the longest political imprisonments in American history. From the Ponce Massacre of 1937 to the 1950 insurrection, the Blair House attack, and the 1954 shooting in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Party's history is inseparable from the prisoners it produced: Albizu Campos himself, Oscar Collazo, Lolita Lebrón and her comrades, and the hundreds jailed under Puerto Rico's Ley de la Mordaza. The events below trace that history.
