On Saturday, March 2, 2013, the Puerto Rican Cultural Center held its 100 x 35 plus 5 event celebrating the center’s 40th anniversary and 105th year anniversary of Juan Antonio Corretjer’s birth. Over 120 people toured the Open House showcasing the PRCCs major programs including El Rescate, the transitional housing for LGTBQ youth.
El Rescate celebrated its one-year anniversary this past Saturday. The day ended with a performance and book signing at Café Teatro Batey Urbano. The show at Batey included Caridad “La Bruja” De La Luz and Batey Urbano’s very own Michael Reyes. Following the performance, there was a book signing with Nancy Kurshan, author of Out of Control: A Fifteen Year Battle with Control Unit Prisons.
