  • Summary

  • In this episode of "Puerto Rico: A Living History," we delve into the journey of the Puerto Rican diaspora and its profound impacts on both New York City and Puerto Rico. From the early 20th-century migrations accelerated by the Jones-Shafroth Act to the transformative Great Migration during the mid-20th century, Puerto Ricans have significantly shaped New York's cultural, social, and economic landscape. Despite facing numerous challenges, including language barriers, economic hardships, and discrimination, the resilient Puerto Rican community established vibrant neighborhoods, cultural traditions, and support networks. We explore their contributions to music, labor, and political activism, highlighting the enduring connections between the island and the city, and the ongoing struggles and achievements of this dynamic community.
