Lifelong activist, organizer and educator Denise Oliver-Vélez has died at the age of 78.
She was a central figure in the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s and was the first woman elected to the Young Lords Central Committee, a radical Puerto Rican human rights group modeled on the Black Panther Party, which Oliver-Vélez was also a member of. She later became the first Black female program director in public radio and taught at SUNY New Paltz.

tonight i am honouring my ancestors, & in particular tante (aunt) grarda, my granddad's sister, who lived her whole adult life in an asylum like this. i don't know why.
#GifsArtidote:
i am going back home for #yuletide in a few weeks, & i plan to visit my family ancestors graves & maybe the asylum. i think it's still an asylum today, so i want to pay my aunty respect & see if they have any information about her. i never met her 😪, but right now i can so deeply relate to her, cause i am grateful i live today. sofar i haven't been sectioned yet, thank fuck. that's why i am fighting authority today, for my self & my family, on both sides, who have suffered mental illness & trauma like hell for generations.#press #media #psychology #GenerationalTrauma #recovery #ancestors #family #BPD #ChronicDepressionDisorder #DysthymicDisorder
