Amazing Interview Dylcia Pagan

Permalink Submitted by Patrik Kilpatrick on Wed, 02/25/2009 - 4:09pm

Thanks, Circle A for an outstanding interview. I had never heard of Dylcia Pagan before. She's unbelievable. "We have to create new institutions". Yes. Her discussion of the Macheteros and the Hormigueras is interesting. How did you score this interview?

Here's a link to a poem by Pedro Pietri, one of the Young Lords that she mentions (who also included Juan Gonzales of Democracy Now)
