Re: Seeking sources for Chicano moratorium march
Michael Perez Feb 22, 2021 9:41 AM (in response to Alice Lane)Hi Alice!
Thanks for reaching out. The Chicano Moratorium held on August 29, 1970. It was a protest march by the Chicano/Mexican communities in East Los Angeles. What started as a peaceful protest march ended up as being a violent clash between protesters and the police. Looking for pictures, documents, media documents etc. on this subject matter.
Thanks
Michael
