Antonia Pantoja: Abriendo Camino.

Antonia Pantoja: Abriendo Camino (Forging a Path) is the remarkable portrait of a woman who changed the New York City educational system – and the lives of Puerto Ricans throughout the nation. Antonia Pantoja’s personal story evokes the experience of generations of Puerto Ricans who migrated to the U.S. in the latter part of the 20th century. But Pantoja was also a prime actor in the civil rights struggles of a turbulent era, and Antonia Pantoja: Abriendo Camino is a long overdue account of the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers of Puerto Rican heritage who fought for basic educational rights in the urban heart of the very country that had forcibly taken over their homeland.
