HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH: CONVERSATION WITH OSCAR

Join tomorrow for our "Hispanic Heritage Month Special" as we have a discussion with former Puerto Rican Political Prisoners Oscar Lopez Rivera (the longest held Puerto Rican Political Prisoner) and Ricardo Jimenez. We will ask about the history of the struggle for Puerto Rican Independence, the criminalization of their struggle, their experiences prior and during incarceration, and the current Latino Criminal Justice Advocacy - including their thoughts regarding the political and physical climate (PROMESA and Hurricane Maria) and other issues.
