On Monday half a million Puerto Ricans took to the streets to protest the Governor's percieved corruption and insensitivity.  Far from the first time Puerto Rico has been embroiled in protest, it has been a relatively consistent theme throughout the island's colonized years.

This week, on Context, Please.
