Tens of thousands marched to demand social and economic justice\, exposing the gap between American ideals and the colonialist realities still shaping the lives of many communities. \n\n\n\nAs we approach the 50th anniversary of this historic rally\, we invite you to join a special commemorative gathering. This event offers a meaningful counterpoint to official U.S. semiquincentennial celebrations by highlighting an essential chapter in Philadelphia’s activism and community history that has lessons for today. \n\n\n\nIf you were a participant in the 1976 march\, there will be opportunities to share and record your memories and reflections. Photos\, flyers\, and other memorabilia from the July 4th Coalition protest will be displayed \n\n\n\nWhether you marched in 1976 or are learning about this history for the first time\, we want to hear your voice—join us in a panel discussion to remember\, reflect\, and connect with the spirit of this protest. \n\n\n\nFeatured panel\, including:\n\n\n\nAlyssa Ribeiro\, Henry A. Logan\, Sr. Professor of American History at Allegheny College. She has written about the July 4th\, 1976\, protest in the anthology Revolution Around the Corner. Her research explores how diverse coalitions have driven political and social change at the local level. Her forthcoming book\, “Making the City Brotherly: Multiracial\, Progressive Activism in North Philadelphia\, 1960s–1980s\,” will be published by the University of Chicago Press. \n\n\n\nPedro Rodriguez\, a participant in the 1976 march and a longtime community activist. He has led several Philadelphia-based organizations\, including the Open Borders Project (Proyecto Sin Fronteras) and the Action Alliance of Senior Citizens\, where he served as Executive Director from 1997 to 2007. \n\n\n\nAngel L. Ortiz\, the first Puerto Rican and first Latino to serve on the Philadelphia City Council. He was first elected in 1985. Ortiz served on the Philadelphia City Council for 19 years and was a champion for working-class Philadelphians\, marginalized communities\, and the rights of women and LGBTQ individuals. In 1976\, Ortiz was a young lawyer who had just moved to Philadelphia and played a pivotal role in organizing the July 4th protest. \n\n\n\nEdwin Mayorga (moderator)\, Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Studies and in the Program in Latin American and Latino Studies at Swarthmore College.

This theme echoes the upcoming semi-quincentennial celebration\, yet feels increasingly out of reach for many. \n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister\n\n\n\nA central element of the exhibition is Rullán-Fantauzzi’s exploration of the Puerto Rican flag. In her photographic work La Guerrera (2024)\, the artist is painted in the historical sky blue\, red\, and white of the flag. This choice carries significant weight\, as it references the 1948 Gag Law (Ley de la Parada)\, which criminalized the public display of the flag. The artist connects this historical suppression to contemporary resistance against trans visibility\, suggesting that both are attempts to control identity and sovereignty. \n\n\n\nMi Isla y yo demonstrates how symbols persist and how patterns of oppression repeat across eras. Ultimately\, the exhibition suggests that recognizing these patterns is essential to breaking negative historical cycles and offering a path toward personal and collective liberation.  URL:https://tallerpr.org/events/reception-hagudeza/ LOCATION:Pennsylvania CATEGORIES:Exhibitions Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/MiIslayYo_IG_WebNewsletter_01-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260424T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260424T200000 DTSTAMP:20260821T080442 CREATED:20260325T160849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260422T203800Z UID:10000279-1777051800-1777060800@tallerpr.org SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Miranda Lopez: Para mi niña DESCRIPTION:LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPara Mi Niña reflects the past\, present\, and future dreams of our little Black and Brown girls. Three young girls — the youngest\, middle\, and oldest — play dress-up as their mothers\, aunts\, grandmothers\, and matriarchs who worked during the World Trade Fair era. \n\n\n\nWearing vibrant colors\, flowers\, prints\, and dresses inspired by Puerto Rican culture and the spirit of Plena\, they mirror the strength and pride of the women before them. The youngest builds the Women’s Pavilion with blocks\, symbolizing foundation and possibility. \n\n\n\nThis piece honors how older women clear the path so younger generations can dream\, create\, and shape lasting change. \n\n\n\nMiranda Lopez: Para mi niña is included in Radical Americana\, a citywide initiative organized by The Clay Studio to mark the Semiquincentennial.
