UPR Strike

What a horrible scene to watch thousands of policemen packed with guns, shields and mace instead of open books to read. What a horrible scene to watch thousands of students getting beaten and chased like rodents because they decided to speak. What a horrible scene to watch thousands of children without hope, without dreams, because they will fail to pay the Dean. What a beautiful scene to watch thousands of Puerto Ricans united, without fear, without weakness because they decided to fight for what they believe. by J.B.H.
