Neutrality Check

This article needs to be reviewed for neutrality by someone more familiar with the topic than myself. Phrases like It electrified the crowd. From a quiet, soft, and slow tone, they began to clap, up-beating until it was as loud as thunder. sound a little too fansite-ish. Thanks! Jminthorne (talk) 23:34, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And eight years later nothing has happened. 103.18.11.60 (talk) 21:08, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I’m Puerto Rican and have never heard of the Young Lords. I never lived in Chicago. I think no responses is because they never mattered much. Only by following a COINTELPRO link F. L. (talk) 02:20, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His convictions and jail time?

What was he charged with, convicted of, and sentenced for? This article currently reads like a press release 'spin,' not an encyclopedia article. Benefac (talk) 11:45, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As founder of the Young Lords, I was charged with 18 felonies in January and the first part of February in 1969, in Chicago. All the cases except for one -The $23 worth of lumber case were either negotiated for probation or completely dropped when I announced to run for alderman of the 46th ward.The $23 worth of lumber case was a protest action due to the city closing down a free community day care center because they wanted the Young Lords to pay for construction of the gym. The city said that the Young Lords needed to lower the ceiling three feet and raised the floor 3 feet.

Since there were no funds, the money was raised locally from churches and after serving one year in jail, and after being underground, Jimenez came out and ran for Alderman receiving 39 of the vote. The original Young Lords in Chicago continued to organize and voted in several electoral campaigns until in 1983 and in the Harold Washington victorious mayoral campaign were being paid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.46.224.240 (talk) 09:01, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
