The April 1948 university strike was a definitive event in 20 th Century Puerto Rico, as well as a momentous event in the evolution of a university founded by the United States 45 years earlier, five years after wrestling the island from Spain in 1898. In addition to the arrests, the "preventive" suspensions, the firing of professors, and other government actions, the university administration prohibited political activities at the university at this time. Also, the administration initiated a series of measures that culminated with the complete elimination of student involvement in university governance at UPR and the dismantling of the Student Council.

The Journey of Economic Literacy & Self Sufficiency is a narrative project illuminating the historical legacy of entrepreneurship, self-employment and the collective economics within the Black community, particularly in the lives of women of African descent in the diaspora (i.e. in the United States and the Caribbean). By implementing the Afrocentric and Womanist contextual lens, the purpose of this study was to 1) document their journeys as independent business women, 2) uncover the literacy skills they employed and implemented, and 3) describe the support networks they relied upon personally and professionally. The qualitative data collection methods utilized in this project were informed by Seidman (1995) and Lincoln and Guba (1985).
