From my perspective a hero is not only someone who wears a cape, has superhuman strength, wears fancy clothes or someone who saves his lady from the bad guy; however he is someone who stands for strength, bravery, humbleness, justice and equality.

The Young Lords instilled a sense of Puerto Rican pride during a time when Puerto Ricans were looked at with great racial, cultural and language discrimination as well as economic exploitation. They changed the sanitation standards on inner city streets, started free children’s…

King was not liked because he stood up and said that he didn’t like the way colored-skinned people were being treated, but was liked because he had enough courage to take a stand and become a leader who fought for what he thought was right in a peaceful and respectable way.
