Through the use of vintage photographs and film footage--plus interviews with early migrants, community leaders, and noted historians--Chicago's Puerto Rican Story explores the wide range of social themes that include family, work, housing, and education. Here, are the results of integration as seen in the employment of Puerto Ricans by local police and fire departments, as well as the election of Puerto Ricans to local, state and federal offices. The film also emphasizes the accomplishments of political activism: social successes such as community organiza-tions, educational reforms, health centers and clinics, and the creation of a vigorous cultural-commercial business district known as "Paseo Boricua." An educational discussion guide will be included as a downloadable pdf file for educators to use along with the film as part of a broader curriculum for students to understand and study the Puerto Rican and Latino Diaspora in Chicago and the United States.Chicago's Puerto Rican Story will serve as an important educational tool. The film addresses various issues including power, politics, race, health and educational reforms and spans across multiple disciplines such as history, political science, sociology and ethnic/Latino studies.

the Puerto Rican Bar Association, Inc., and the Puerto Rican Bar Association Scholarship Fund, Inc. The Puerto Rican Bar Association, Inc. (PRBA) was founded in 1957 by a group of Puerto Rican and Latino attorneys who began gathering socially to offer one another both personal and professional support in an era when it was difficult for attorneys of color to be accepted as members in established bar associations. The PRBA at that time focused its efforts on addressing the concerns of a rapidly growing Latino community and the legal services it required. Today, the PRBA has grown from a handful of attorney to over 500 members representing the interests of attorneys, judges, law professors and students of Latino descent who share a common interest in fostering professional development in the legal community and addressing issues that are important to other Latino communities as a whole. The Puerto Rican Bar Association is having their scholarship banquet on October 19, 2007 from 6 p.m to 11 p.m at the Union League Club at 65 W. Jackson. For more information contact Edwin Reyes at 773-450-9584. |
