 Alejandrina Torres 

I accidently posted the section below on Puerto Rican Nationalism/Liberation for Alejandrina Torres' wiki page

¡Pa’lante, Siempre Pa’lante!

Her work with FALN was rooted in Revolutionary Love [27] and Puerto Rican militancy. In her monograph, she speaks of her love for her island and people. Torres states, "... a people who struggle and will continue to struggle for independence and justice, eradicating the yankees from our soil once and for all." [28] She and other Puerto Ricans and Puerto Rican Americans had experienced, witnessed and realized that similar to the education system, white supremacy was deeply ingrained within the function and creation of hospitals. Torres was emboldened to hold the U.S. accountable for its involvement in Puerto Rico and in shaping the subordinate status of Puerto Ricans.

What to add?

Why "¡Pa’lante, Siempre Pa’lante!"? The life of Alejandrina Torres was one embedded in struggle. There is ongoing colonialism for the island of Purrto Rico.. there has never been a post colonial period.

- Add why she and other FALN members identified as Prisoners of War (cross reference to other FALN members' pages)

- Expand on Revolutionary Love?
