"Carpeta: Filiberto/ File: Filiberto", Yasmin Hernandez, Mixed media on file folder, 2007 "In order to appraise the caliber of leadership in the Puerto Rican independence movement, particularly as it pertains to our efforts to disrupt their activities and compromise their effectiveness…we must determine their capabilities of influencing others, capabilities of real leadership, why the intense desire for Puerto Rico's independence, what they expect to gain from independence and the support they have from other leaders and rank-and-file members. We must have information concerning their weaknesses, morals, criminal records, spouses, children, family life, educational qualifications and personal activities other than independence activities." -FBI, COINTELPRO (Subversive Controls Section): MEMO, 1960 This new project explores
the political repression suffered by the Puerto Rican independence
movement, the government surveillance of its leaders and the
secret government and FBI files kept on these individuals and
organizations. The exhibit is also inspired by the holdings
of El Centro's archives. Gallery Hours: |
