The forgotten history of a once-Latino Lincoln Park comes back to life on the 55th anniversary of the founding of the Young Lords Organization.
The Young Lords' fight to keep Lincoln Park Latino is a nearly forgotten part of Chicago history, but new era members are shedding new light.Back in the 1950s and 1960s, the distinct drumming sound of Latin rhythms could be heard from the streets and homes of Chicago's Lincoln Park. But that music would eventually be drowned out --- a casualty of gentrification.
Lopez became a Young Lord shortly before Jose "Cha Cha" Jimenez took over the group in 1968. Jimenez, now 77, and the Young Lords, were honored on the group's 55th anniversary by DePaul University. The Chicago History Museum is also based in Lincoln Park, and is home to a digital archive of hundreds of photos that mark the Young Lords' place in history. The photos also include protests after Young Lords member Manuel Ramos was shot and killed by Chicago police.
Sadly, the Young Lords would lose the battle to keep Puerto Rican and Latino culture alive in Lincoln Park. It wasn't the first time Latino families would be forced to relocate.
