What do we want? Justice!!!
After the reporter Ruben Salazar was assassinated by the police of los angeles la raza was not going to quit. We started another march on January 31, 1971 to protest police brutality. It went to a march into a massacre because the police was already lined up and they opened fire to the crowd. I felt very disappointed and furious because it was not fair what they were doing to us, they were arresting people that was participating in the march and some people were wounded by police gunfire.
Chicano Art
1972 Chicano art continues to flourished with the competition. Luis Jimenez resin epoxy and fiberglass sculptures.
Disaster
August 29, 1970 Anti war activist Rosalia Munoz organized a March. To protest about the high numbers of Latino deaths in Vietnam. Attracted 25,000 participants to East Los Angeles. The police attacked the crowd. Ruben Salazar a journalist was one of three that were killed.
Justice
July 1970 after 5 years of strike and boycott, the farmers were successful. They got many more California grape growers. They also received a three year union contract. They will finally received a decent salary. A health clinic will also be provided.
R.I.P Ruben Salazar
In August 29th, 1970 I joined the National Chicano Moratorium because we as Hispanic Americans were treated unfairly just because our ancestors and parents were born in Mexico. We wanted change and we wanted to be included in politics, education opportunities, and respect. That day we came out to the streets of east Los Angeles to protest for our needed benefits. Around 30,000 came from different directions in east Los Angeles and marched in opposition of the war in Vietnam. The march was especially motivated by the high fatality rate among Chicano soldiers, the march was going well but it was interrupted by law enforcement agencies with a violent attack on the crowd which several persons were killed, including a times reporter from Los Angeles named Ruben Salazar, who wrote fully about the Mexican American community.
