The Ponce Massacre Museum

Puerto Rican Series

Visited Puerto Rico

We made our way to the Ponce Massacre Museum located just off the square. Fantastic little museum, wandered through the well thought out exhibits. At the end, the museum curator engaged with us and gave a great synopsis of the events of that tragic day. I was somewhat familiar with the event having recently read Denis’ book – War on All Puerto Ricans. Debi, Cole and Keilyn were new to it and it made a big impression on them. Wish I had gotten the curator’s name; he was passionate about this bit of history. We talked a bit about the current debt crisis, and he sees this next year as a pivotal year. I told him we’d be looking for him on the news, and he said, you never know.
