The New Puerto Rican Independence Movement (Spanish: Nuevo Movimiento Independentista Puertorriqueño, NMIP) was a left-wing pro-independence organization in Puerto Rico. Founded in 1993 by former members of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, one of its primary leaders was Carlos Gallisá. In 2004, the NMIP merged with the National Hostosian Congress to form the Hostosian National Independence Movement (MINH).
Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or movement:
“We commonly say that the rich man can speak the truth, can afford honesty, can afford independence of opinion and action;—and that is the theory of nobility. But it is the rich man in a true sense, that is to say, not the man of large income and large expenditure, but solely the man whose outlay is less than his income and is steadily kept so.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
