EDITORS COMMENTS
PUERTO RICO: STRIKE, 1942. The mayor's powerful address resonates with the gathering of strikers and sympathizers in Yabucoa's town plaza. This photograph by Jack Delano captures a pivotal moment during Puerto Rico's labor movement in 1942. Amidst the backdrop of an exterior adorned with flags, the mayor stands tall at a podium, his hat firmly placed on his head as a symbol of authority and solidarity. With conviction in his voice, he addresses the crowd gathered before him - hardworking men from all walks of life who have come together to fight for their rights. The atmosphere is charged with determination as workers sit attentively, listening intently to every word spoken through the microphone. A man holding a pipe leans forward, captivated by the mayor's speech while others shield themselves from the sun under umbrellas. This historic meeting serves as a testament to Puerto Rico's resilience and unity during challenging times. It showcases how ordinary individuals can rally together for a common cause - demanding fair treatment and better working conditions. Jack Delano skillfully captures this significant moment in time, immortalizing it through his lens. His photograph not only documents an important chapter in Puerto Rican history but also reminds us of the power that lies within collective action.
