On September 23 1868, a multitude of puerto Ricans revolted for independence from Spain. “El Grito de Lares” is Puerto Rico’s first cry for independence after the Taino uprising of 1511. The rebellion took place in the small rural town of Lares, Puerto Rico. The flag was hand stitched by Mariana Bracetti, an anti-imperialist and poet. The flag was designed by Ramon Emeterio Betances.

The Lares flag is a symbol of resistance. Lares is known as the birthplace of Puerto Rican nationalism.
