	Palante! A History of the Young Lords (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Young Lords understood that the Puerto Rican community's desire for clean streets was connected to a broader set of community concerns, and that by cleaning the streets they could create the momentum needed to sustain a movement.
		The Young Lords, having established a name for themselves as people who listened and got things done, together with the community, were able to translate a revolutionary vision into a movement for transforming the society from the ground up.
		The Young Lords developed a theory of patriarchal gender roles and recognized how historically in national liberation struggles, such as those in Algeria, Cuba and Vietnam, male chauvinist ideas taught colonized men that the only way to regain their identity was to dominate women.

	A Young Lord Remembers - Richie Perez (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Young Lords Party was made up primarily of young Puerto Ricans who were born in the U.S. or who had spent most of their lives here.
		Like all young people of that era, we were profoundly affected by the Black Liberation Movement: the struggle to end the Vietnam War: and the "cultural revolution" in values and lifestyle that occurred in the 1960s.
		As a revolutionary group, the Young Lords Party believed that poverty and discrimination could not be eliminated, that independence for Puerto Rico and self-determination in the U.S. could not be achieved without the destruction of monopoly capitalism (imperialism), a system which routinely generates extremes of wealth and poverty.

		To many members of the Young Lords Party, the true essence of the group cannot be found in its fight for socialism, Puerto Rican independence, or even their revolutionary acts.
		To these people, The Young Lords Party was a place where they felt comfortable in their surroundings, away from the harsh reality of a white dominated and oppressive system.
		The Young Lords appealed to those people who believed in equality and social change, but also appealed to those Puerto Ricans looking for a support group or a place where they could finally learn who they were and where they came from.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- These young 'Lords' ruled '70s skateboarding scene
		There are lots of echoes bouncing around in "Lords of Dogtown," and it's not just because the film's best action happens inside empty swimming pools.
		Stacy Peralta, who directed it, wrote the script for "Lords." Because he was a key member of the real-life Dogtown crowd, he also is a character in the new movie.
		"Lords of Dogtown" leaves out broad swaths of the real story, but in its lo-fi style it manages to capture the feel of the '70s scene without going all mood-ring on us (although the unveiling of the righteous urethane wheel is treated as a rapture worthy of a Rod McKuen poem).

		Unlike the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords were not decimated by governmental violence; instead, law enforcement agencies destabilized the organization by exploiting pre-existing rivalries and fomenting factionalism within it.
