Young Lords
In Lincoln Park
Interviewee: Luis “Tony” Baez
Interviewers: José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez
Location: Grand Valley State University Special Collections
Date: 8/23/2012
Biography and Description
Luis “Tony” Baez arrived in Chicago from Barrio Borinquén of Caguas, Puerto Rico in 1969 and soon
became Minister of Education of the Young Lords. Barrio Borinquén is the first rural community just
outside of Caguas on the same road that leads to Barrio San Salvador. Dr. Baez comes from a Puerto
Rican cuatro playing family, and he also plays guitar. In Puerto Rico, Dr. Baez was also active with the
Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP), the electoral component of the broad movement in Puerto Rico,
fighting for Puerto Ricans to regain back control of their nation. By 1970, Dr. Baez moved from Chicago
to Milwaukee and set up a Young Lords chapter. They maintained a community office and distributed
the Young Lords Newspaper (that Dr. Baez had also helped to publish while in Chicago), focusing
primarily on neighborhood organizing, community-based programs, and bilingual education. During the
same time, Dr. Baez continued his studies and some years later earned a Ph.D. Today Dr. Baez is
Executive Director of the Council for the Spanish Speaking, Inc. The organization was established in 1964
and is the oldest Latino community-based organization in Milwaukee. The Council serves more than
15,000 individuals, including at risk youth, working families, adult learners and the elderly via subsidized
elderly housing. They also assist with foreclosure counseling, health education, and civic engagement
and mobilization. Dr. Baez is the former Provost and Chief Academic Officer of the Milwaukee Area
Technical College in Wisconsin. He has served as Assistant to the President, Associate Dean of Pre-
�College Programs, Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Director of Research, Planning and
Development there as well. In the Bronx, New York, Dr. Tony Baez also ser served as Vice-President and
Dean of Faculty at Hostos Community College.

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.
