Another great spot for coffee in Saint John, The Uptowner is in a boutique hostel. It has locally roasted coffee, craft beer on tap and an interesting cocktail menu.

It's known for live music and cultural events and is chic enough to almost make me miss my hostel days...almost.

"Historic Photos Bring to Life the Young Lords of " (The Uptowner - 9/21/19) | El Museo del Barrio

EXCERPT: Though most members [of the Young Lords] had not grown up on the island, the organization “made us something,” providing a political education.

“Our stories are always distorted,” [Young Lords photographer Hiram Maristany] said. “They are never told by the people.”

He refused to perpetuate negative stereotypes of Puerto Ricans prevalent at the time – images of poverty and degradation – working to provide a hopeful and dynamic counter-narrative. “History is rapidly being eroded” says Maristany. He wants El Barrio’s youth to continue his work of preservation.

Jazzy Cintron, 32, a tour-taker who grew up in El Barrio, says the tour gave her a deeper knowledge of the Young Lords and the history of her community. “I would like to be part of it with my own story,” she said. . . .

The son of Puerto Rican migrants, Rodriguez wonders, “Why the hell didn’t I hear about the Young Lords sooner?” He argues that their history should become part of school curricula. He says that “Mapping Resistance” is powerful from an educational standpoint, because “you can’t walk through East Harlem without seeing the history of the Young Lords.”
