WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS
Revolution and Terror in America’s Colony
Historic Photo of the Day: God Bless America
This photo was taken in 1941 in the elegant El Escambrón ballroom/nightclub.
El Escambrón was the swankiest “American style” venue in Puerto Rico at the time.
With World War II raging, it was also a time of heightened patriotism and military indoctrination.
Of historical interest: El Escambrón is the place where Police Chief Riggs invited Pedro Albizu Campos to lunch, and offered him $150,000 to “go easy on the Nationalism stuff.”

Those headpieces most be pretty heavy on their heads. What a load to carry.
