Love this place, the history it holds, and many forgotten stories.
I was born in Ponce but raised in New York City. I have taken time to learn about my town. I know the history of the firehouse. I know the history of Castillo Serrallés. I know about the Ponce massacre. The Salsa singers who were born here (LaVoz, Cheo Feliciano, El Conde) just a few. One of Puerto Rico most influential people, Pedro Albizu Campos, was also born in this town. Please, if there is an important part of Puerto Rico history that should be known, it's this man mentioned above. Don Pedro 1st Harvard University Boricua to graduate with highest honors, but this valedictorian wasn't allowed to give a speech due to the color of his skin. Talked 7 different languages. USA government poisoned him with radiation.
Yet I have done this to learn my past history. I have gone as far as to learn about our Taino ancestors. What they suffered as well.
Know your past history because knowledge is power.
