Chicano! - Taking Back the Schools.mp4

Before our next class meeting, please watch the documentary video below. I have included this documentary to provide us with some historical background as we study the visual works of Chicanx/Latinx visual artists, and especially as we discuss the current exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum titled, Printing the Revolution: The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now. The video includes interviews of Chicana visual artists Mita Cuaron, Carmen Lomas Garza, and Patssi Valdez. 

Above is the link to the PBS documentary of the 1968 East Los Angeles student walkouts, and here is the poster image fo the film WALKOUT produced by Moctezuma Esparza (who is also interviewed in the documentary). I recommend WALKOUT if you want to see a dramatized version of this historical event.
