Puerto Rican Nationalism is a political and cultural movement that seeks to promote the identity, rights, and self-determination of the people of Puerto Rico. It emphasizes the island's unique history, culture, and language, advocating for greater autonomy or independence from United States governance. The movement has roots in the late 19th century and has evolved through various political parties and organizations, such as the Puerto Rican Independence Party. Supporters often celebrate Puerto Rican heritage through festivals, art, and education, aiming to foster a sense of pride and unity among the island's residents.
