Links to Other Sites on the Young Lords

Truthfully, there are few resources on the Young Lords available on the Internet -- that's one of the reasons for putting together this website. Some of the following sites are more comprehensive than others and some have inaccurate information. The resources at the Latino Education Network Service (including the book and video you can purchase there) is the most accurate introduction to the New York Young Lords. The Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York has the most comprehensive collection of New York Young Lords materials, including most of the issues of Palante. The information available at DePaul University in Chicago is the most comprehensive collection of materials on the Chicago Young Lords.

If you know of a site that I have failed to include in this list, please email me and, if appropriate, I'll include it on this list. Just so you know, clicking on a link will open the page in a new browser window.
