Biography
and
Description
Oral
history
of
Lawrence
Reyes,
interviewed
by
Jose
“Cha-‐Cha”
Jimenez
on
October
04,
2016
about
the
Young
Lords
in
Lincoln
Park.
Lawrence
was
born
on
July
7,
1958
at
St.
Vincent
Hospital
in
New
York
City’s
Village
area.
The
family
soon
moved
to
El
Barrio
around
122nd
and
Amsterdam
which
was
primarily
Puerto
Rican.
He
is
one
of
12
siblings
including
his
U.S.
veteran
brother,
Junior
who
was
also
a
member
of
the
Young
Lords.
His
father
was
a
store
manager
in
downtown
Manhattan
and
his
mother
worked
as
a
janitor.
The
environment
of
El
Barrio
was
gang
and
drug
infested
and
Lawrence
dropped
out
of
9th
grade
at
John
Jay
Dewey
High
School
and
eventually
became
addicted
to
hard
drugs
going
in
and
out
of
prison,
including
a
robbery.
He
states
that
it
was
a
hopeless
case
for
him
until
his
involvement
with
the
Young
Lords.
Today
he
has
been
“clean”
34
years
and
has
worked
for
county
and
state
governments,
as
a
substance
abuse
counselor.
�Lawrence
states
that
his
father
was
a
“Puerto
Rican
Republican.”
His
mother
was
the
complete
opposite
and
she
taught
the
children
Puerto
Rican
history
and
about
Don
Pedro
Albizu
Campos
and
the
Nacionalistas.
His
sister
Hilda
Morales
later,
was
a
part
of
the
Young
Lords
central
committee
in
New
York.
The
last
action
he
remembers
was
when
the
city
was
leading
the
New
York
Puerto
Rican
parade
and
the
people
and
Young
Lords
reacted
and
fought
the
police.
He
is
joined
in
the
oral
history
with
co-‐activists
Jorge
Luis
Rivera
and
Adam
Rice
who
are
proactive
with
him
in
Los
Angeles.

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.
