Marina Street and Plaza Muñoz Rivera, Ponce, Puerto Rico. This street keeps many historical events like the the Ponce Massacre. "The Ponce Massacre, which took place on March 21, 1937, was one of the most violent episodes in the history of the twentieth century in Puerto Rico. It was called a massacre by the very commission that studied the facts. On that date, the Partido Nacionalista (Nationalist Party) organized a march in the streets of the City of Ponce to protest the jailing of its leaders. The activity was announced in El Mundo newspaper on March 19, indicating that the meeting of the Nationalists in Ponce and adjacent areas would be at 2 pm in front of the Nationalist Party Headquarters in Ponce". --Description from, Rosado, M., Grupo Editorial EPRL, Enciclopedia de Puerto Rico.
