"Who are we? We are Puerto Ricans!
In order to resolve Puerto Rico's political status,
We must first understand who We are and our Island's history!
In order to destroy our nation, they will have to take our lives!"
Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos
Me llamo Jose Medina, I am a Nuyorican/Puerto Rican born and raised on The Lower East Side in New York City. First took my eyes to see La Isla de Encanto in 1992 when I was 25 years old. It was magic! When I got off the plane, after the first plane ride in my life, I felt it. The spirit of El Jibaro. It took over like the heat of the humid less air that surrounds you when you exit the airport terminal. I felt the love of my country explode with pride within me, being introduced to Mi Isla, Mi Tierra. I was born again! Born again Puerto Rican! Within one hour I had Mi Gorra on and was barefooted driving west on La Autopista heading to San Lorenzo. I could imagine how many others like me, Nuyoricans, who experience the same feelings I did that day. Since then I exposed myself to my culture through Mi Familia, Friends, even people I have never met.

Boricuation is the combination of two words...Boricua and Education.
Boricuation is an exposure of Puerto Rican culture and history. Boricuas young and old take advantage of the internet. The internent, as vast as it is, has limited information readily available about Puerto Rico?s history, culture and people.
There are countless reasons why someone would take their own personal time and resources to take on such a vast subject like Puerto Rican history. There are many places where people can access Information about Puerto Rico: Books, magazines, newspapers and the internet. This project was in the making before the first graphic design was created. Through Jos ?s curiosity about his own identity and ancestry. Boricuation has immurged to enlighten other Puerto Ricans who are miss-informed or just do not know and are curious about their Puerto Rican roots. Boricaution is located in the heart of Puerto Rican history and culture. It?s the exposure of the struggles and accomplishments made by our Puerto Rican Ancestors. Making sense of the many questions that arise about who Puerto Ricans are and where we come from. Now, I would like to share just a little of our culture and history through graphic design and various articles about Puerto Rico. I take this project personal and hope to expose this information through my perspective and blast it out into cyberspace for everyone to acquire and grasp a piece of Puerto Rican Soul. I would like to initiate an educational look into a rich culture, migente boricua!
