In 1964, Puerto Rican physician and revolutionary Ana Livia Cordero (1931-1992) spoke of the need to unite the Black, Puerto Rican, and Third World liberation struggles to confront worldwide imperialism. In this talk, Dr. Plácido will provide an overview of Cordero's expansive life and contexts, and reflect on the collective construction of her historical narrative. Plácido will discuss her collaboration with Cordero's family and comrades across continents, the work done to preserve Cordero's archive, and her enriching exchanges with a small but mighty group of scholars and Cordero's loved ones that continues to enhance the history of this woman as well as the many movements in which she participated.
