Description
"In 1892, the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Committee was founded in New York. Just a few years later, a design for the Puerto Rico flag was presented to the public on December 22, 1895. This proclaimed the longing desire of independence from Spain. However, in 1898, the flag also became a symbol for resisting U.S. invasion. Which led to U.S. officials charging insubordination against anyone displaying the flag. It was not until fifty years later, Puerto Rico officially became a Commonwealth and the flag was adopted in 1952."
