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.

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.
Inspired by the historical event that culminated one of the largest strikes in the history of Puerto Rico and United States.
