On this day, 21 March 1937, the Ponce massacre occurred when police killed 19 people on a peaceful demonstration and wounded hundreds in Puerto Rico. They were marching for the release of imprisoned separatist leader Albizu Campos. Police acted on the orders of the US-appointed governors, and after the murders staged photos with a press photographer to try to claim self defence.
