Hi Everyone,

I hope you and your families weren’t heavily affected by the hurricane!

So, I thought I was going on the right track but the comments that I’ve received from group members have helped to shape my research topic/argument a bit differently. I think I was going off towards a paper that I found interesting, but did not necessarily give answer to the “so what” question. I feel like group members were respectfully asking “so what” during our discussions and am grateful for that because it helped me look at my research in a completely different light.

Therefore, my argument has come to be:
The current involvement and success of the community-based organizations (CBOs) and public outlets in the New York City-Puerto Rican (Nuyorican) community are a direct result of the leadership of the Young Lords Party’s (YLP) New York Chapter at their peak. These CBOs and public outlets, that have spun out of the YLP, serve as the most significant venue by which Nuyoricans have been able to gain educational and socioeconomic mobility in NYC.

Compared to what I came up with in the past, I think that this argument encompasses the ideas and areas that I explored with the research to back it up in a more concise way. Thanks to everyone for the help! 🙂
