Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Ricci Trinidad
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 5/17/2012
Biography and Description
Ricci Trinidad grew up in Lincoln Park. He describes his memories of the neighborhood, including the
work of his parents, Pablo Trinidad Resto and Cristina “Nine” Jiménez. Doña Nine, as Mr. Trinidad’s
mother was called, was a businesswoman. Early on as a new immigrant in the early 1950s she opened a
restaurant, financing it with only her own funds in the La Clark neighborhood at Wells and Superior
Streets. She began by cooking for the new immigrant men who were working to bring their families from
Puerto Rico to Chicago in her converted, connecting room apartment at the Water Hotel. The restaurant
was creative and domino leagues were organized to serve the patrons and to increase the restaurant’s
bottom line. Lotería, or Spanish bingo games, that were sponsored by several families within the La
Clark barrio, soon sprang up as well. Mr. Trinidad attended Immaculate Conception and became
president of a primarily white neighborhood social club on North Park Avenue, called the “Rebels.” He
served honorably in the U.S. Army and retired as a worker in good standing from the Commonwealth
Edison plant. In his early years, he, William, and José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez – who were cousins and close
friends -- rode bicycles and skateboards down the cobbled streets of Superior, downtown, and through
the Oak Street and North Avenue beaches.

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.
