Pedro Albizu Campos, abogado, y uno de los lideres politicos mas importantes de la historia de nuestro pueblo, cuyo apodo es "El Maestro". Abogo por los derechos humanos, los derechos del trabajor, y sobre todo por el derecho de un pueblo a ser libre. Inadvertidamente, es el la razon por la cual los Puertorriqueños tan orgullosamente muestran su bandera, ya que fue el quien incito el espiritu de rebelion en el pueblo, para que su bandera fuera respetada y venerada, sin importar la ilegalidad que tener una conllevaba.
Pedro Albizu Campos, a lawyer, and one of the most prominent political leaders in the history of our country. Known as his nickname, "The Teacher", he championed for human rights, the rights of the worker, and mainly for the right of a country to be free. Inadvertently, he is the reason why many Puerto Ricans are so proud to display their flag, being he who incited the rebellious spirit in the people, so that their flag be respected and venerated, without care for the illegalities that being in posession of one entailed.
"Who are we? We are Puerto Ricans. In order to resolve Puerto Rico's political status, we must first understand who we are and our island's history. In order to destroy our nation, they will have to take our lives." - Don Pedro Albizu Campos, after the Ponce Massacre, 1937.
