About this listen

 On July 14, 1970 the Young Lords occupied Lincoln hospital, in response to the treatment of Puerto Rican and Black patients. They had a list of demands and the offensive was just one piece of their public health activism.

In part one, Cristina tells Carmen about what led up to the offensive and about the occupation of the hospital itself. Part two will be about Carmen Rodriguez and how the care she received led to the patient bill of rights.
