On November 1, 1950, Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola, two Puerto Rican nationalists, attempted to assassinate President Harry S. Truman in Washington, D.C. Two days prior to the attempt, rioters had descended upon the Puerto Rican governor's mansion in San Juan at the urging of nationalist leader Albizu Campos, who advocated revolution as the only means of securing Puerto Rican independence.
