The Antonio Mattei Lluberas January uprising in Yauco which raised the Puerto Rican flag for the first time against Spanish rule, and whose legacy as the last armed independence attempt before American annexation makes it one of the island's most defiant historical moments.
Intentona de Yauco of 1897 — the last armed uprising against Spanish colonial rule in Puerto Rico, launched on March 24th by a small group of independence fighters led by Antonio Mattei Lluberas in the coffee-growing highlands of Yauco. Inspired by the Cuban independence struggle and the ideals of the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Committee, the rebels raised the newly designed Puerto Rican flag — one of its earliest public appearances — before Spanish authorities swiftly crushed the revolt within a day. Though brief, the Intentona de Yauco stands as a testament to the unbroken Puerto Rican desire for self-determination, a flame lit just months before Spain's defeat would hand the island to a new colonial power. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Yauco highland uprising and Intentona de Yauco Puerto Rican independence heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
