What was the Chicano Moratorium?

The August 29, 1970, Chicano Moratorium in East Los Angeles is the largest anti-war protest organized by people of color in the United States. Convened to protest against anti-Mexican racism and the disproportionate number of Mexican American deaths in Vietnam, the Chicano Moratorium was the largest gathering of the 1960s-1970s Chicano Movement.

I WAS THERE WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD WITH MY PARENTS. WE CAME FROM ARIZONA. I REMEMBER THE EVENTS VAGUELY BECAUSE I WAS VERY YOUNG, BUT I REMEMBER SOME THINGS ABOUT IT. MY FATHER WAS A CHICANO LEADER ACTIVIST IN THE LATE 60'S AND 70'S. MAY HE REST IN PEACE

I love my country and fought for it, I think we have a great community. I don’t believe we are treated less than today

No gastes tu respeto o tu amor en favor de un pais. Y no se debe apostar la vida en favor de un pais que ni se da cuenta, y que solo existe para la explotación. Esa bandera es nada mas que un trapo. No tiene nada de Sagrada. No seas tonto. No mandes tu familia a morir por un pais corrumpido como Este. No te metas con tendencia derechísta. Y no te dejes del racismo que es integral aspecto del gobierno mismo, créemelo. Lucha contra la opresión ~ sera una educación para tí en conocer realidades de la politica y de la cultura de este país. Y date cuenta que dios no tiene nada que ver con esto. No le creas nada al televisor. Infórmate. Mi familia siempre ha luchado contra la opresión. Eso es ser bueno ciudadano. No esperes que existe aquí la democracia. La Unica democracia que existe es la que luchas para realizar tu mismo. Saludos. Antonio Perales del Hierro-Valdés

[@robertmartinez4174]

that is the start of almost all riots. 1. the peaceful protest. 2.an element which sees an opportunity to to commit Acts of violence and loot. this second element usually isn't interested in the issue which is behind the protest. I was at Laguna Park that day.
