Pedro Albizu Campos
It seems unfortunate that such an influential figure of Puerto Rico has almost been completely forgotten. Even though his primary means of influence was done through revolution it seems wrong to keep him out of the public educational system of Puerto Rico. I feel like this lost could be equated to one of us (mainland US Americans) not knowing of Thomas Jefferson -- who was extreme in his own right. What makes these two people so alike is: they both solved issues with the father country by means of revolt. Obviously Thomas Jefferson was more successful in his attempt, and Pedro Albizu Campos was overshadowed by Louis Munoz Marin. Actually even more specifically -- it would be like us, mainland americans, not learning of W.E.B. DuBois who wanted 'segregation to end now without compromise' and was a bit of a revolutionists himself. Even though his views were overshadowed by Martin Luther King Jr., he is still publically known; unfortunately the same case does not hold for Pedro Albizu Campos who by all means was a definite leader of Puerto Rico.

WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OPPOSES YOUR RIGHT TO BE FREE!!
Puerto Ricans, whether they are called Independents (independentistas), Patriots or Nationalists or Freemen, who desire to be free, must always know that the federal government, here in the States has no “subject matter jurisdiction” over the person, case or location and should be challenged to proof it. These are magic words to learn when in Federal Court for desiring freedom for your/our Country.
You won’t be told this in court but: All jury members, judges, attorneys, and employees working in federal court, must reside in federal territory to legally be a federal juror or touch your case or they can be commercially sued, disbarred and financially ruined for violating your constitutional rights etc.
Your God given right to be free is not wanted by the USA, it will oppose your desire for independence and freedom, because the Federal USA is a profit based Corporation.
The Federal Government is a District of Columbia “Corporation”, as are all the States of the USA. What you know of as the USA, is NOT a Republic, but a multi-based Corporation acting as a Country. These Corporations were formed for the benefit of the real owners. Since June of 1933, everything since then, is under Contract law or commercial law, aka Admiralty law, to benefit your masters in power.
The Federal Government owns Puerto Rico as an ASSET, because it is a slave colony—whether you like the idea or not. But the Federal Government takes orders from those who own and run this (Corporation) Country, but are not of this country. The International Bankers, who really own the corporations called the USA and also the Federal Reserve, will let the slaves of PR be free, only if enough real men of Boricua blood wish to be free, by reserving their rights under the Constitution. Their books will be adjusted and we will be free.
The answer to your freedom lies in your Constitutional rights --- To win --You must always reserve your constitutional, commercial rights and know what they are and how to do so.
A Puerto Rican without a desire for independence and/or freedom from alien control has no heart and soul of a man.
The fact that the public does not know that we are NOT free, makes no difference, to the desire to be free. The PR that wants Statehood is a Gringito, who has no soul of a man left in his traitor's heart. Freedom is happening all over the world and yet we allow Gringitos to kill our right to be free.
A Gringito is a non-Anglo THING, IT is not really a “person”, just like a mass murderer is more like an animal than a person, who internally is so inferior, that he desires to be what he can not be—thus Gringito means little gringo.
The Gringito is like an Uncle Tom to blacks or a collaborator and traitor to many others. To us he/she is all three and much worst. The “It or thing” I call Gringito, is the enemy of freedom -- all thru out HUMAN history.
We allow the Alien Invaders to kill, harm, abuse, rape, and scam us and yet the Gringito wants to give our Country away.
This abuse must end. No man or woman is a real Man or real woman who is too scared to fight for their souls and be free. If you listen to the Gringito, you will lose your soul.
Thru out eternity, humanity owes its freedom from slavery, ONLY TO BRAVE SOULS who fought and DIED for your right to be free.
The fight will NOT succeed if you don't fight the Gringito enemy/traitor/collaborator at home first. He is there next door and claims he is a real man and tries to give you many excuses of why PR can't be a free Country.
To give away your/our/my Country is not a right of alien invaders, visitors or foreigners with NO Puerto Rican Blood.
The right to vote on THIS ISSUE should NOT be given to NON-Puerto Ricans.
The fight for the independence of Puerto Rico is now non-violent and will be won in the hearts of real men around the World.

A proud freedom loving Puerto Rican.

I also think it's sad that he has been forgotten. I am a Puerto Rican, born and raised in the island. I DEFINITELY know the name and history of Luis Munoz Marin, but I barely recognize the name Pedro Albizu Campos. Although I am sure that if I would have gone to high school or college in Puerto Rico I would know who Albizu Campos was, but even at a young age, Puerto Ricans just know who Munoz Marin was. His name is everywhere, unlike Albizu Campos. The international airport is named after Munoz Marin.
This has actually made me interested in finding out more about Pedro Albizu Campos.
Your reflections were very interesting to me. I am ashamed to admit that before taking this course I had no real knowledge regarding the politics and believes of Pedro Albizu Campos. Why do you think history might be presented in this way? Why has the historiography of Puerto Rico developed in such a manner? I would agree that knowing the history of both Marin and Campos is crucial to having an understanding of the ways 20th century politics in Puerto Rico developed and the different patterns and tendencies that shaped so much of Puerto Rico's recent history.
