In 1970, more than 20K protesters marched through East LA for the Chicano Moratorium. By day’s end, hundreds were arrested & trailblazing journalist Ruben Salazar was dead. The events of that chaotic day still reverberate among LA’s Latinos 50 years later. latimes.com/projects/chica…
It started as a peace march. But for the Moratorium generation, the day left protesters dismayed, disappointed and angry. @longdrivesouth latimes.com/projects/chica…
In murals, theater, photography and music, the Chicano Moratorium influenced art of its time and our time too. @cmonstah latimes.com/projects/chica…
