Field Trip to MCNY

The MCNY was not super beneficial to our group. However, it made us aware of a group called “Young Lords” who were a group similar to the Black Panthers. The Young Lords who began a gang but transformed into a Puerto Rican activist group.

However, it was interesting to learn about activists. It made me wonder, how should a young person like myself try and be heard? How did someone like Greta Thunberg get started? I think that the museum did not answer that question.
