Reply #1: Didn't know about this lady. Says she was arrested and jailed again at 81 protesting Vieques.

Wow.

So the U.S. has always seen Puerto Rico as a "spoil of war" after the Spanish-American War. Good grief. That must be why a gummint's nose is out of joint over Cuba, too. I've puzzled over why the two flags are exactly the same, only one has a red triangle and blue stripes, and one has a blue triangle and red stripes. Like the same limited artist created them both for a "twofer" sale.

The story about her defusing the rage when that man was tracked down, shot and denied medical treatment while he bled to death slowly was very interesting.

Found this photo of her:


While I was looking through the other pages near this photo, found the following photos I haven't seen before:

Two vaguely familiar faces.
Thanks for the story. Very useful, good to learn.

Recommending.
