Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Román Rodríguez
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 5/12/2012
Biography and Description
Román Rodríguez served in the U.S. army during World War II and moved to Chicago’s La Clark
neighborhood in 1953. For many years, his wife, Clautilde Jiménez, taught in the Chicago public school
system. They also lived in Lincoln Park and were both active members in the Damas de María and
Caballeros de San Juan of Council Number Three. A powerful and eloquent orator, Mr. Rodríguez has
been a frequent speaker at Caballeros de San Juan functions across a variety of parishes. He also
became a deacon and participated in the mass at St. Silvesters in Humbolt Park/Logan Square, where he
helped to solidify the growing community of Puerto Ricans who were being forced out of Lincoln Park.In
his oral history, Mr. Rodríguez reflects on the changes he has seen over the years in Chicago and the
displacement of Puerto Rican families from Lincoln Park. He expresses his inability to understand why
Puerto Ricans were experiencing discrimination especially after they had served in the U.S. military and
given their lives for United States. He describes in rich detail, a community of hard working and religious
people, dedicated to their families and their faith. In Puerto Rico in the 1940s, Mr. Rodríguez would
entertain his siblings by improvising jibaro music after working a hard day in the fields. Like other Puerto
Rican pioneers in Chicago, he brought his love of music with him to the city and continued this tradition
there.

Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Roberto Jiménez
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 7/9/2012
Biography and Description
Roberto Jiménez is son of “Tio Funfa” Jiménez. Today he lives in the small mountain town of Aguas
Buenas, Puerto Rico, but did live for some years in Detroit, Michigan, traveling back and forth in the
1950s, “when there were not that many Puerto Ricans living there.” It was cold in Detroit. And Mr.
Jiménez recalls having to rely on family and friends for transportation and other things. He likes to raise
rabbits for sale, and chickens. Mr. Jiménez also grows green bananas and other vegetables in his
backyard behind the three houses where his brothers and sisters live in separate apartments. At least
one of the houses is an inheritance and it is not bad to be able to live and to share supper with family.
When friends arrive to visit, he has a habit of giving them some bananas or a chicken or a rabbit. If he
has to do the work to prepare it, he will charge for his time. Mr. Jiménez considers himself to be just a
humble worker and recalls going to the United States because farm labor was seasonal and there was no
work. Sometimes construction was good. But it did not last long because there were many people trying
to do it. Mr. Jiménez had heard about the Hacha Viejas, but they were his cousins, children of Tio
Gabriel Jiménez, and workers who worked on his uncle’s farm, and not part of his immediate family.
Today, Mr. Jiménez has no plans except to enjoy the tropical breeze from the same chair he sits on daily
in their patio/garage entrance. Here he is calm and can think as he enjoys the car and truck traffic
blaring as it passes the house.

One
of
his
brothers
Franco

the
Illinois
Chapter
of
the
Black

worked
against
racism.
Bob

closer
to
the
Panthers.
The
Young
Lords
had
begun
working
with
the
Illinois
Black
Panthers
in
mid
-‐February,
the
day
after
they
had
entered
the
second
floor
and
briefly
“occupied”
the
18th
Police
District
Workshop
Meeting
to
protest
repression.
It

Young
Patriots
and
Young
Lords,
there
were
several
press
conferences
held
in
Chicago
and
in
other
cities
later.
The
coalition
was
more
mass
and
symbolic
with
the
goal
of
being
more
inclusive
and
bringing
more
groups
into
the
coalition
such
as:
I
Wor
Keum,
the
Red
Guard,
the
Brown
Berets,
AIM
and
SDS.

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.

Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Ricardo Rebollar
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 7/11/2012
Biography and Description
Ricardo Rebollar is from one of the first Mexican families to live in Lincoln Park, settling around Sheffield
and Clybourn Streets and remaining there more than 30 years. After José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez got into
trouble at Newberry Elementary School, in the 6th grade he was taken out by his mother and placed
into the Catholic St. Teresa School. Mr. Rebollar was of the few Latinos in the school and in his class and
they became very close friends. They would talk long hours before and after school in their homes, and
together planned to go into the seminary and then into the priesthood because it was a way they felt
they could help their People.
Mr. Rebollar recalls those years, as well as how they played in softball teams and other sports. He also
describes his girlfriend and how her parents had a difficult time accepting him because of his national
origin. He recalls the days that Lincoln Park turned more Puerto Rican and Latino and describes how he
felt safe when he walked the area of Lincoln Park because the Young Lords and other groups knew that
he and Mr. Jiménez were friends. Mr. Rebollar also went to the McCormick Theological Seminary’s
Occupation and because he was a student at St. Vincent DePaul High School he supported the DePaul
University take-over by the African American students who were being supported by the Young Lords.
�Neither Mr. Rebollar nor Mr. Jiménez ever made it to the priesthood. Mr. Rebollar first became a law
enforcement officer and says that, “he was a good sharpshooter.” He then later became a teacher for
the Chicago school system and currently teaches science at Joliet West High School in Illinois.
Spanish
Ricardo Rebollar es hijo de una de las primeras familias Mexicanas que vivieron en Lincoln Park, en las
calles de Sheffield y Clybourn, por más que 30 años. Después que José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez se encontró
en problemas en Newberry Elemntary School, su mama lo saco de la escuela y lo inscribió en escuela
Católica de St. Teresa. Señor Rebollar era uno de los pocos latinos en la escuela y porque estaban en la
misma clase se hicieron mejores amigos. Se pasaban los días hablando antes y después de la escuela y
querían ir al seminario y luego ordenarse sacerdote porque sentían que era la única forma que podían
ayudar su gente.
Señor Rebollar recuerda que juagaron juntos en equipos de softbol y otros deportes. También recuerda
que los padres de su novia tuvieron más tiempo en aceptarlo por su origen nacional. Y como en esos
días podía caminar por las calles de Lincoln Park sin temor porque los Young Lords sabían que era amigo
de Jiménez. Señor Rebollar atendió McCormick Theoligal Seminary’s Occupation y la escuela de St.
Vincet DePaul High School en donde Afro-Americanos (quien eran apoyados por Young Lords) tomaron
la escuela.
Señor Rebollar y Señor Jiménez no llegaron a ordenarse. Rebollar primero fue un policía y dice que “era
un tirador experto.” Ahora es un maestro en la escuela de Joliet West High en Illinois.

Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Ricardo Lugo
Interviewer: Jose Jimenez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 12/14/2012
Runtime: 01:36:06
Biography and Description
Oral history of Ricardo Lugo, interviewed by Jose “Cha-Cha” Jimenez on December 14, 2012 about the
Young Lords in Lincoln Park.
"The Young Lords in Lincoln Park" collection grows out of decades of work to more fully document the
history of Chicago's Puerto Rican community which gave birth to the Young Lords Organization and later,
the Young Lords Party. Founded by Mr. José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez, the Young Lords became one of the
premier struggles for international human rights. Where thriving church congregations, social and
�political clubs, restaurants, groceries, and family residences once flourished, successive waves of urban
renewal and gentrification forcibly displaced most of those Puerto Ricans, Mejicanos, other Latinos,
working-class and impoverished families, and their children in the 1950s and 1960s. Today these same
families and activists also risk losing their history.

Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Rebecca “Buffy” Vance
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 4/20/2012
Biography and Description
Rebecca “Buffy” Vance was friends with “Stony,” who was a white southerner and one of the main
Young Lords from the Wieland branch of the group before they became human rights activists for
Latinos and the poor. Stony was about 17-years-old then and lived across from Wieland on North
Avenue. His sisters became members of the auxiliary group, the Young Lordettes. Wieland culture was
completely different from the culture at Halsted and Dickens and Burling and Armitage where the other
main group of Young Lords hung out. The difference was that on Wieland and North Avenue, they did
not have to share space with the other Puerto Rican Clubs of Lincoln Park. Pockets of Puerto Ricans left
behind from the destruction wrought by urban renewal in the Puerto Rican barrio of La Clark were still
around then. Wieland Street was one of the streets that still survived. Masao Yamasaki, a man of
Japanese descent, became friends with Stony and other Young lords and tried to help them with
counseling and guidance. Mr. Yamasaki did this through the YMCA, where Young Lords would go for
swimming and basketball. He owned a factory and started providing a few of them, including Stony, with
jobs. And Stony remained in his packaging company for years, becoming a supervisor for the company.
Ms. Vance was never in the Young Lords but grew up in Lincoln Park and attended Alcott Elementary at
2625 North Orchard. Alcott School then had an after school program that would supervise the youth at
night to keep them out of trouble and off the streets. A few of the Young Lords attended Alcott and
�spread the word about the program. They would have to walk 8 to 10 blocks to attend but it did help
some of them as they participated in sports, arts and crafts, and other activities. There were also the
social dances, where youth danced to tunes such as “Wipe-out,” “Twine Time,” “Monkey Time,” and
“Louie Louie.” Today Ms. Vance today works at the University of Illinois Circle Campus as Assistant to
Communications and Development and Alumni Relations. Prior to joining the College of Law, she
worked as a development Secretary for Will AM-FM-TV. Ms. Vance has also worked at Amdocs Inc. and
in benefit planning.

Description
An account of the resource
Rebecca “Buffy” Vance was friends with “Stony,” who was a white southerner and one of the main Young Lords from the Wieland branch of the group before they became human rights activists for Latinos and the poor. Stony was about 17-years-old then and lived across from Wieland on North Avenue. His sisters became members of the auxiliary group, the Young Lordettes. Wieland culture was completely different from the culture at Halsted and Dickens and Burling and Armitage where the other main group of Young Lords hung out. The difference was that on Wieland and North Avenue, they did not have to share space with the other Puerto Rican Clubs of Lincoln Park. Pockets of Puerto Ricans left behind from the destruction wrought by urban renewal in the Puerto Rican barrio of La Clark were still around then. Wieland Street was one of the streets that still survived. Masao Yamasaki, a man of Japanese descent, became friends with Stony and other Young lords and tried to help them with counseling and guidance. Mr. Yamasaki did this through the YMCA, where Young Lords would go for swimming and basketball. He owned a factory and started providing a few of them, including Stony, with jobs. And Stony remained in his packaging company for years, becoming a supervisor for the company. Ms. Vance was never in the Young Lords but grew up in Lincoln Park and attended Alcott Elementary at 2625 North Orchard. Alcott School then had an after school program that would supervise the youth at night to keep them out of trouble and off the streets. A few of the Young Lords attended Alcott and spread the word about the program. They would have to walk 8 to 10 blocks to attend but it did help some of them as they participated in sports, arts and crafts, and other activities. There were also the social dances, where youth danced to tunes such as “Wipe-out,” “Twine Time,” “Monkey Time,” and “Louie Louie.” Today Ms. Vance today works at the University of Illinois Circle Campus as Assistant to Communications and Development and Alumni Relations. Prior to joining the College of Law, she worked as a development Secretary for Will AM-FM-TV. Ms. Vance has also worked at Amdocs Inc. and in benefit planning.

Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Ramonia “Monin” Jiménez Rodríguez
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 6/25/2012
Biography and Description
Ramonia “Monin” Jiménez Rodríguez came to live in the La Clark barrio of Chicago on La Salle near
Division Street in the mid 1950s. The La Clark barrio once encompassed the area between Grand Avenue
on the south and North Avenue on the north, bounded by Dearborn Street on the east and continuing
west to Halsted Street, and in some sections along Chicago Avenue to nearly Ashland. La Clark was
chosen by Puerto Ricans because it was the location of many service jobs, including domestic work,
waitressing, dishwashing, and other hotels. The neighborhood was also close to a number of factories
along Wells, Franklin, and Orleans Streets and along the Chicago River. Ms. Jiménez Rodríguez attended
mass at Holy Name Cathedral and St. Joseph. She became involved early in the Council Number Three
Damas de María at St. Michael’s Church. There she helped other Damas to cook the arroz con gandules
dinners regularly. The dinners would be sold to raise money in the gymnasium after mass. There was
usually a live band playing and many neighborhood people dancing. Ms. Jiménez Rodríguez later joined
St. Teresa’s Church Council Number Nine, as the Puerto Rican community expanded to encompass the
streets of Lincoln Park west of Sheffield to Ashland Avenue. The Caballeros and Damas used St. Teresa’s
Hall for many of their activities.Her brothers were also active in community life and civic affairs. Antonio
“Maloco” Jiménez Rodríguez was vice-president of the Hacha Viejas in these early days. Angel Luis
Jiménez became president of Council Number Nine; they opened up their own social club across from St.
�Teresa to hold meetings and throw smaller parties to raise funds for the Caballeros and the Damas.
Through the 1960s these affairs grew as they strove to cater more to the youth groups. St. Teresa had
some of the best dances using the new bilingual youth bands that were spreading everywhere
throughout Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park and the new, expanding Puerto Rican community in
Humboldt Park. Ms. Jiménez Rodríguez worked hard volunteering for the Chicago’s Puerto Ricans at St.
Michael’s and at St. Teresa. She was also part of the movement to try to get mass held in Spanish. In
later years, Ms. Jiménez Rodríguez moved back to Puerto Rico to retire which is where she now lives.

Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Ramon Rodriguez
Interviewers: Jose “Cha Cha” Jimenez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 6/23/2012
Biography and Description
Ramón Rodríguez is a semi-retired school teacher who lives in the Lao Frío section of San Salvador,
overlooking the home of his father Dimas Rodríguez Flores. He first met his cousin, José “Cha- Cha”
Jiménez in 1963 when Mr. Jiménez was forcibly deported to Puerto Rico. Mr. Jiménez, who was 14years-old at that time, pleaded with his parents to send him to Sheraton, a juvenile prison where he
would have remained until the age of 21, instead of being sent to Puerto Rico where he was born but
had no understanding of life there. In Puerto Rico, Mr. Rodríguez and his older brother Juan became
close to Mr. Jiménez. They also tried to dissuade Mr. Jiménez from forming a branch of the Young Lords
in Puerto Rico because Mr. Rodríguez and his brothers were already leaders and did not want anything
to do with a Chicago type gang in the barrio of San Salvador. Mr. Rodríguez recalls what San Salvador
was like in those days. This was a stable area and family influence and networks were strong. Drugs did
not start to enter -- not even in rural areas of Puerto Rico – until much later. The only thing that closely
resembled a gang was the Titeres de La Plaza. These young men sat on the many boulders near the
banana leaves, across from the store of Don Félix García, and got into petty mischief. Ultimately Mr.
Rodríguez and others compromised and agree to call their group, Jovenes Nobles. Of course Mr. Jiménez
remained a Titere because that bunch included many other cousins, and they were located in La Plaza,
closer to where he was living with his grandparents, Tino and Don Goyo. The Jovenes Nobles set up a
�recreation clubhouse for their young members. They began fundraising and someone donated a baby
pig to raffle. The members traveled from house-to-house and hilltop-to-hilltop in the tropical sun to sell
the tickets. On the day of the raffle, Mr. Rodríguez’s mother won the ticket. The Jovenes Nobles had to
endure the gossip, but they kept the money and they ate the pig.Mr. Rodríguez also describes his move
from San Salvador to Aurora, Illinois. In this interview, he bravely talks about the brief substance abuse
problem he battled and the ways he hopes young people today might learn from his experiences. Today
he once again lives in San Salvador. He remains a strong family person and is a well-respected leader.

of
the

and
the
first
time
the
Young
Lords
met
Fred
Hampton
in
February
1969
right
after
the
Lords
non

violently
occupied
a
police
community
workshop
meeting.
He

and
human
rights
for
the
Puerto
Rican
Nation.

of
the
Young
Patriots
Organization
and
its

up
when

of

became
the
Young
Patriots
Party.
He
explains
that
the
organization
wanted
to
keep
the
organizing
focused
on
the
neighborhoods
and
explains
that
they
did
wear
the
confederate
flag
when
they
walked
into
the
bars
of
Uptown,
Chicago
but
it
most
Southern
Whites
did
not
realize
what
it
represented.
It
became
a
tool
for
discussing
racism
and
organizing
in
their
community.
Rabab
Abdulhadi
explained
that
she
grew
up
under
the
Israeli
Occupation
and
that
Palestinian
boys
would
sometimes
use
sexist
remarks
and
gestures
at
the
women
but
it
could
be
easily
resolved
by
telling
their
fathers
and
families.
However,
if
an
Israeli
soldier
would
attack
a
Palestinian
woman
the
woman
she
would
have
to
remain
silent
for
fear
that
it
would
jeopardize
the
lives
of
their
Palestinian
relatives.
She
explained
the
love
of
Palestinians
for
Mohammad
Ali
or
Cassius
Clay
and
said
that
her
parents
said
that
Angela
Davis
was
framed,
“the
proof,”
they
said
is,
“racism.”
Professor
Harvey,
is
a
lecturer
at
UC
Berkeley
and
recalls
being
part
of
the
I
Wor
Kuen
and
also
going
to
the
Black
Panther
office
in
Oakland
to
create
flyers
because
they
had
no
office
or
supplies.
He
participated
in
petition
drives
as
a
form
of
protest
and
says
that
it
was
a
duty
not
remain
silent
while
negativity
is
everywhere,
“things
get
worst”
she
said.
Pam
of
the
Asian
American
Alliance
and
the
Red
Guard
explained
how
her
Grandfather
left
China
to
work
on
the
construction
of
the
Panama
Canal
and
never
returned.
She
said
that
the
Red
Guard
started
a
Breakfast
for
Children
program
near
Jackson
Street,
in
San
Francisco’s
China
Town.
They
were
proud
of
Richard
Aoki
who
was
Chinese
and
a
Field
Marshall
for
the
original
Black
Panthers.
She
also
stated
that
they
were
Chinese
and
Chinatown
was
Chinese
but
it
took
the
Black
Panther
Party
to
teach
them
about
the
Red
Book
of
Mao
Tse
Tung.
Lenny
Foster
began
thanking
everyone
proudly
speaking
in
his
Navajo
language
because
that

growing

During

Navajo
US

were
called
code
talkers
because
they
could
infiltrate
the
Japanese
and
speak
in
their
native
tongue
without
being
detected.
His

On

Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Rafael Cancel-Miranda
Interviewer: Jose Jimenez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 11/19/2012
Runtime: 01:21:00
Biography and Description
Oral history of Rafael Cancel-Miranda, interviewed by Jose “Cha-Cha” Jimenez on November 19, 2012
about the Young Lords in Lincoln Park.
"The Young Lords in Lincoln Park" collection grows out of decades of work to more fully document the
history of Chicago's Puerto Rican community which gave birth to the Young Lords Organization and later,
the Young Lords Party. Founded by Mr. José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez, the Young Lords became one of the
premier struggles for international human rights. Where thriving church congregations, social and
�political clubs, restaurants, groceries, and family residences once flourished, successive waves of urban
renewal and gentrification forcibly displaced most of those Puerto Ricans, Mejicanos, other Latinos,
working-class and impoverished families, and their children in the 1950s and 1960s. Today these same
families and activists also risk losing their history.
