http://iprac.aspira.org/iprac_1898.htm

Extractions: Introduction 1998 marked the centennial anniversary of the United States' troops invasion of Puerto Rico . The manner in which this occasion was commemorated at the time has contributed to the false belief that Puerto Rico was uncivilized prior to the invasion. Cartoons and photographs published by the US media provided a vision of Puerto Rico which deliberately emphasized poverty without depicting the physical and cultural development of the country. Cartoons presented in the United States press show predjudice and dispective, failing to show the true nature of Puerto Rican society. We stress these points because the purpose of this presentation, though limited to the graphical items we have been able to collect, is to show that Puerto Rico in 1898 was not at all what the press depicted, and that has influenced the many Americans and Puerto Ricans into beliving that civilization arrived in Puerto Rico with the American troops in 1898.

http://www.fajardoinn.com/about-puerto-rico.html

Extractions: Site Map About Puerto Rico The true history of Puerto Rico is reflected in our literature, art, music, architecture and in our spirit. You can see it everywhere, from our oldest cities to our newest urban developments. Puerto Rico is many, many things. We hope you will enjoy discovering a few of them. Its terrain is among the most varied in the region; rugged mountains rise in the middle, quiet beaches edge the northern and eastern shores (which are lapped by the Atlantic Ocean) while in parts of the southwest, beaches give way to steep cliffs that plummet into the Caribbean Sea. What is Puerto Rico? It is an island teeming with beauty and vitality. Some of it is Spanish, some Indian, some African and some...something else. but somehow it all blends together into a culture that you will find fascinating and one-of-a-kind. There is no place quite like a tropical volcanic Island and no island in the Caribbean quite like Puerto Rico. The geography of the island is very unusual, as it encompasses distinctly different kinds of topography and microclimates in a relatively small area. A rugged mountain range runs across the center from east to west, which often prevents rain clouds from passing to the south. The north side of the island is covered by dense vegetation, karst formations and rushing streams, while, the south side is sun-toasted terrain, home to tropical dry forests and many species of exotic birds. Puerto Rico is only about 100 miles long and 35 miles wide, so its most distant points are only a three-hour drive apart. It also means that just about every tropical landscape in existence is a short trip from wherever you happen to be!

Extractions: A Collector's Vision Below: Teodoro Vidal: Collector Lu s Muñoz Marín Exhibition Home Page The art and artifacts in this exhibition present a sampler of Puerto Rico's history and culture over centuries. They are part of a vast collection created by Teodoro Vidal (to the right in the picture), who began a personal quest in the 1950s to document the people, history, and culture of Puerto Rico from the 1700s to the present. Mr. Vidal donated much of this collection of more than 3,200 artifacts to the Smithsonian Institution in 1997. The land from which the objects came has its own rich and dramatic history. For thousands of years, native peoples named Taínos lived on an island they called Borikén. In 1493, Christopher Columbus landed there and claimed the island for Spain. It remained a Spanish colony for over 400 years and became known as Puerto Rico ("rich port"). In 1898, the United States went to war against Spain, siding with the Cuban independence army. When Spain lost the war, it lost Cuba, the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States. As a result, Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory. Today, some 3.5 million Puerto Ricans live on the island, and 2.7 million reside elsewhere in the United States. Teodoro Vidal Santoni Born in Condado to a prominent family he describes as "100 percent Puerto Rican," Teodoro Vidal earned a B.B.A. and an M.B.A. degree from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1954, he became an aide to Luis Muñoz Marín, Puerto Rico's first elected governor. He also served on the first Board of Directors of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. Collecting became his lifelong passion, and he soon began to collect objects that for him embodied the essence of Puerto Rican culture.

To read and see much more of Piri Thomas visit his web site The World of Piri Thomas The roots of Borinquen (the original indigenous name for the Puerto Rico) were trampled from the beginning of the European presence, where some lost sea captain who called himself Christopher Columbus landed on the island and renamed it Puerto Rico almost 500 years ago. Columbus and the conquistadores who followed him knew only how to plunder. The natives who greeted Columbus were members of the fierce Arawaks and peaceful Tainos, who lived on the shores as fishermen. Columbus claimed their land in the name of Spain, and opened the door to Western exploiters who came in droves to colonize the island. They brought soldiers, money-hungry businessmen, priests, and opportunists, who burned with the fever only gold could cure. They brutally reduced the native population to near extinction by means of disease, slavery, cruelty, and murderous extermination. Men, women and children were set to work digging for the yellow metal, the precious gold.
