Brief Historical Chronology II
This poster starts with the U.S. takeover of Puerto Rico and covers the pre-World War II steamship migratory waves (1898-1938). It emphasizes the early organizations and its leaders, and some of the community’s major accomplishments, efforts at cultural preservation, and other civic endeavors, as Puerto Ricans begin to build their communities in New York City and make their presence more visible in U.S. society.
