   THIS IS HOW
   PUERTO RICANS
   DID IT IN 1948

   that guy in the v-neck sweater, all the way to the right, that is my father, Julio Sabater.

   he was in the first Puerto Rican delegation to the Olympics in 1948; when the anti-black, fascist forces in the United States insisted we Puerto Ricans didn't exist, we were not a nation and we had no right to be represented on any international stage by our own people and our own flag.

   that's called LEY DE MORDAZA.
