EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image captured by Alvin Baez, the Puerto Rican flag stands proudly on the wall of a classroom in a shut-down elementary school in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. The photograph, taken on February 5,2018, portrays a powerful symbol of national pride amidst an abandoned educational setting. The vibrant red and blue colors of the flag contrast against the desolate atmosphere of the empty room. Sunlight filters through barred windows, casting rays that illuminate both hope and despair. The creative use of space showcases how even in absence, education remains at the core of Puerto Rican identity. As we gaze upon this scene devoid of people but filled with history and emotion, we are reminded of the challenges faced by communities affected by urban decay. The decaying architecture serves as a stark reminder that once-thriving classrooms now lie dormant. Yet amid these ruins lies resilience - a testament to the indomitable spirit that characterizes Puerto Ricans. This photograph encapsulates not only physical abandonment but also echoes societal neglect and political struggles faced by many marginalized communities. Alvin Baez's lens captures more than just an image; it immortalizes a story waiting to be told. It prompts us to reflect on our collective responsibility towards providing quality education for all children regardless of their circumstances or geographic location.
