Lares Revolutionary Committee

The Lares Revolutionary Committee was a group of revolutionary leaders in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Puerto Rico. They aimed to achieve independence from Spanish rule and promote social reforms. The committee organized protests, discussions, and acts of resistance to challenge colonial authority. Their efforts helped raise awareness among Puerto Ricans about their political rights and contributed to the broader movement for Puerto Rican independence. Although they did not succeed immediately, the committee played a significant role in inspiring future independence efforts and shaping Puerto Rico’s national identity.
