A Junior Fellow at the Library of Congress named Tanya M. Ríos Marrero created this excellent StoryMap that covers the history of the sugar mono-crop economy in Puerto Rico, U.S. involvement after 1898, and legacies of resistance - all leading up to the sugar strike of 1942. It's filled with primary sources that were new to me, and I'm sure they'll be new to many in the TPS Teachers Network. Don't miss the links at the end to still more ideas for exploring Puerto Rico through the Library's digital collections.

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.
