Along with other speakers/performers, Lucas Demont of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party Nucleus, spoke about the revolutionary history of Puerto Rico, including the Nationalist Party's taking up of arms against US imperialism, the ensuing ultra-repressive US colonial occupation, and also the actions that lead to the incarceration of Puerto Rican Nationalists.
