Puerto Rican flags planted on the Plaza of the Americas in the shape of “PR” honored the victims of Hurricane Maria who died on the island on the anniversary of the hurricane. Unión de Estudiantes Puertorriqueños Activos, the Puerto Rican UF student group under the umbrella of Hispanic Student Association, collected books to send to a library and signed a poster offering words of hope to those still affected.
