Lopez Rivera breaks silence

A Puerto Rican nationalist recently freed from prison will still march in a Manhattan parade — even though he has stepped aside from a formal role as "Procer de la Libertad" — National Freedom Hero. It is unclear whether that development will placate critics who objected to the parade committee's original plan to honor Oscar Lopez Rivera, who was part of a militant group responsible for bombings in the 1970s and '80s that killed and maimed New Yorkers.
