  • “Chale No, We Won't Go!”
    3 “Chale No, We Won’t Go!” The Chicano Moratorium Committee The Vietnam War had a profound eVect on Chicano youth of the 1960s and ’70s. The high proportion of Mexican Americans Wghting and dying in Southeast Asia, coupled with these young people’s heightened aware- ness of social issues, led to a vigorous protest against the war. In this mael- strom of discontent, Rosalio Muñoz, a former UCLA student-body president and in 1968 a minority recruiter for the Claremont Colleges, received his induction orders in December of that year for the following September. “I was concerned and wanted to do something,” he later recalled, “but when I was drafted, and it happened to be for September 16, it catalyzed for me as . an opportunity to strike a blow against the war and the draft.”1 Though Muñoz’s initial motives were inherently selWsh, he quickly became convinced that he had “to do something for all Chicanos.”2 There was, Wrst of all, the symbolic importance of the day on which he was to report for induction: September 16 was Mexican Independence day. He had also already become disenchanted with the draft because of his experiences at the Claremont Colleges. The Chicano students whom he visited told him how draft boards tried to discourage them from considering college by telling them that student deferments were not available. These incidents only served to crystallize Muñoz’s sense of the war as an act of discrimination against Mexican Americans. As he 61 62 CHAPTER 3 saw it, “There were so few of us even qualiWed [to go to college] and those that were qualiWed they would try to discourage to get a defer- ment.” For him, “the horribleness of the war and discrimination against people and then the upsurge of peoples’ forces and of the Chicano Movement” created the climate necessary for a Chicano struggle against the conXict in Vietnam.3 Initially, Muñoz set out to organize protests against the draft, not the war.

August 28, 2020 No one sensed that just hours after the protesters began their pilgrimage in L.A.'s Belvedere Park, their anti-war proclamations were going to end in a pitched battle with hundreds of detainees, some 60 wounded and three dead, including Salazar, who was at The Silver Dollar, a local cafe, when the riots broke out and was hit by a tear-gas canister fired by the sheriff's deputy — the causes of his death remain obscure.

  • Unearthing the Photos of La Raza, Unsung Chronicler of Chicano Stories in LA
    (/) (/) The voice of journalism Unearthing the photos of La Raza, unsung chronicler of Chicano stories in LA Photo courtesy of the photographers and the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center. BY ANY JOURNALISTIC STANDARD, it was a good get. The black-and-white photograph taken by La Raza Editor in Chief Raul Ruiz captured the pivotal moment when a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy stood on an East Los Angeles sidewalk and aimed his tear-gas launcher into the Silver Dollar Café on August 29, 1970. A tear gas missile from the launcher would fatally strike Ruben Salazar, a Los Angeles Times columnist and KMEX News Director who had become one of the few mainstream voices to tackle issues that mattered (http://www.latimes.com/la-oew-rubenremembered22apr22-story.html) to Mexicans and Mexican Americans in a city and era when people of color were often absent from media coverage. The investigation into Salazar’s death lagged in the same ways too many deaths of people of color get buried to this day —authorities denied wrongdoing while refusing to release investigation results for decades (http://documents.latimes.com/ruben-salazar/). ICYMI: News organization sets out ambitious Trump plan (https://www.cjr.org/analysis/reuters-trump.php) But while the actions of the deputy may have been in dispute (for lack of any admission of guilt, mostly), Ruiz’ photos for the now-out-of-print Chicano civil rights publication had indisputably captured a painful, course-altering moment in the city’s Chicano history. He knew the photo deserved an audience beyond what could be reached by a self-made newspaper-turned-magazine to tell the untold stories of Chicanos in East Los Angeles.
