Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Amparo Jiménez
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 6/22/2012
Biography and Description
Amparo Jiménez lives in Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico where she is very active within the Catholic Church.
During her oral history, Ms. Jiménez had a statute of the Virgin Mary at her home with a lit candle next
to it. A small group of people had brought the statue to her house and prayed the rosary with her. She
would keep the statue and candle lit in her home for nine days, a novena. During that time, she would
also pray to it. After that, the group would return and pray together once again. They would then keep
the chain unbroken by processing together to another neighbor’s home, giving them the statue after
praying the rosary. This is the charismatic way of keeping the Catholic Church alive through actions or
events within the community. It is also what the Caballeros de San Juan and Damas de María did in
Chicago to wake up and unite Puerto Ricans who were dispersed within Chicago, and as a result of their
diasporic situation. Ms. Jiménez is daughter of “Tio Funfa Jiménez” whose children and their offspring
left Puerto Rico and grew up primarily in Detroit and Pontiac, Michigan. She does not want to think of
her cousins, the children of “Tio Gabriel Jiménez” as members of the Hacha Viejas and she states it
because she grew up with them in this town of Aguas Buenas and that she knows them well. She
stresses how her uncle Gabriel was a good, decent hardworking farmer and so were his children.

Description
An account of the resource
Collection of oral history interviews and digitized materials documenting the history of the Young Lords Organization in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Interviews were conducted by Young Lords' founder, José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez, and documents were digitized from Mr. Jiménez' archives.
The Young Lords in Lincoln Park collection grows out of the ongoing struggle for fair housing, self-determination, and human rights that was launched by Mr. José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez, founder of the Young Lords Movement. This project is dedicated to documenting the history of the displacement of Puerto Ricans, Mejicanos, other Latinos, and the poor from Lincoln Park, as well as the history of the Young Lords nationwide.
