Happy Birthday Oscar! Celebration on Paseo Boricua

On January 9, 2009, supporters of the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners celebrated the 65th birthday of Oscar López Rivera (which actually falls on January 6). Oscar’s brother, José López, recounted memories of Oscar, how he become conscious of US imperialism and his contributions to the Puerto Rican community in Chicago. Laura Johnson, Alejandro Molina and Samuel Vega all reflected on recent visits with Oscar and their desire to see him free. After the emotional reflections, the group sang La Borinqueña and wrote letters to Compañero Oscar.
