Digital Archive
My contribution to the Digital Archive will be archival material related to the early years of the Nuyorican Poets Café.
Web Exhibit
My web exhibit will look at both the Young Lords and the Nuyorican Movement in New York but with a focus on their activities in Loisaida/the East Village. I will attempt to show how the former helped to set the ground for the latter and that they were actually far more connected than people commonly believe.
Research Question: The development of the Nuyorican cultural movement in Loisaida

Charlie, I really like the design of your exhibit. I think it goes well with your topic and the themes within. The Loisaida page is very informative and I think it sets up the rest of the information you plan to cover in your exhibit. I did find one typo in the second paragraph. It should say "14th Street." Your images and the map on this page work well together.
The History of the Young Lords in New York page also looks good visually. I would proofread it one more time to make sure the verb tenses are the same. This page is written in a very academic fashion. I think it sounds great, but my only other suggestion would be to perhaps break up some of your longer sentences since the web exhibit is a little less formal than a scholarly paper.
I really like the way you organized your writing for the "Puerto Rican Obituary" page. You did a great job setting up an introduction before going into the biographical information on Pedro Pietri. Is it possible to break this page up into two different pages? You have a great deal of information contained on this page. I think it may be too daunting for some to scroll down and read the entire page because it looks very lengthy.
Overall, I think you tell a great story and have really powerful images throughout the exhibit!
