Lolita Lebrón Funeral, Puerto Rico, 2010
Lolita Lebrón (November 19, 1919 – August 1, 2010) was a Puerto Rican nationalist who was convicted of attempted murder and other crimes after leading an assault on the United States House of Representatives in 1954, resulting in the wounding of five members of the United States Congress. She was freed from prison in 1979 after being granted clemency by President Jimmy Carter. In 2010 at Lolita Lebrón's funeral march through Old San Juan, many of the "old guard" Nationalists came out to pay their respects including this proud Puerto Rican marching up to the procession.
