This opening lecture to the two-part lecture series explores the 20th century Puerto Rican Independence Movement Leader, who was referred to as “the Apostle of Puerto Rican Independence.” What kind of “apostle” was Pedro Albizu Campos (1891-1965)? A brief biographical overview of Albizu Campos, featuring the religious influences for his work in advocating independence for Puerto Rico from the “American Empire” throughout much of the first half of the 20th century, sets the stage for an initial comparative analysis in this lecture to the first century “apostle to the nations,” Paul of Tarsus.

This event is open to the public. Masks are required, as well as proof of COVID-19 vaccination for off-campus visitors.
