Lucero learned about Lolita Lebrón, a radical Puerto Rican nationalist, when she traveled to Cuba as a college student. Lebrón became a symbol of Puerto Rican independence. Lucero, who sympathized with her cause, wedded Lebrón's likeness and words to the Puerto Rican flag, which appear beneath her pensive portrait. |
