PUERTO RICO: A UNITED STATES TERRITORY

In 1947, the U.S. granted Puerto Ricans the right to democratically elect their own governor. In 1948, Luis Muñoz Marín became the first popularly elected governor of Puerto Rico. The independence movement on Puerto Rico has been popular at various times throughout it's history.  So much so that the government even had to establish a "Gag Law" which made it illegal to display a Puerto Rican flag, sing a patriotic song, or even speak of the independence movement!
