Puerto Rican Cultural Center
The Puerto Rican Cultural Center (PRCC), founded in 1972, has been instrumental in shaping Paseo Boricua as the cultural, economic, and political heart of the Puerto Rican community in the Midwest. Over its fifty-year history, the PRCC has actively fought against gentrification and worked to support the community through various initiatives in economic development, education, public health, and housing.
Through programs like the Humboldt Park No Se Vende campaign, the Community of Wellness Initiative, and educational support for students from Pre-K to higher education, the PRCC continues to address the unique challenges faced by the Puerto Rican community. Their efforts also include organizing relief for disasters, advocating for political prisoners, and promoting cultural heritage through community art and festivals.
