A world map showing the Americas in the center of the poster and a portion of the European and African continents to the right. This map uses arrows to illustrate different population migratory movements to and from an encircled zoomed view of the island of Puerto Rico. Population flows to the island contributed to the formation of the Puerto Rican people and represent their cultural Indian, Spanish and African roots.
