Brown Berets, Young Lords, Young Patriots

[barista.marxista]

I need information on these three groups, for a project on Black Panther-esque groups who are barely remembered today. Any information online is especially useful, but any books are more than welcome as well. The focus is mostly on the first two groups, but, again, all info is appreciated.

The Black Panthers Speak has information on the Panther Alliance with the Young Lords.

There is a newish movie called black and gold about the Latin Kings and Queens. Formerly the largest street gang in New York, directly related to a similar gang in Chicago, they became very political in the late 90's. The film talks alot about the Young Lords, as they also started as a street gang, and the indirect linneage between them(from Chicago) and the newer New Yorkers.

For some very limited info on the Young Patriots, there is a very good book called "Outlaw Woman: the War Years" by a woman named Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.

She stayed with some of the uoung Patriots for a short while.
