In case you've never heard of it, the march was a watershed moment in the Chicano Movement, in which the Los Angeles Police met a peaceful Chicana-Chicano-led protest against the Vietnam War with extreme violence. The ensuing police riot claimed three lives, most notably that of Journalist Ruben Salazar. It remains an important chapter in Chicana-Chicano history. Yet the video claims the Chicano Moratorium “sparked a movement in defense of Latinx lives.”Wait... what?In this episode we talk about the Eurocentric roots of "Latinidad," and how "Latinx" identity is a colonialist tool that centers whiteness while erasing those of Indigenous and African descent.Your hosts:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

Today on Sojourner Truth, a deep dive into the August 29th 1970 Chicano Moratorium, where tens of thousands of Chicanos and their supporters took to the streets in East Los Angeles to protest the war in Vietnam and the oppression of Chicano people. Similar marches took place in several other states, but the one in EastLos was by far the largest. Police attached peaceful marchers, many were injured, and 3 were left dead. We are also marking the anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain which is celebrated on September 16th. Our guest is Bill Gallegos, a veteran Chicano liberation activist and author.

With Donald Trump continuing to demonize immigrants, especially immigrants from Latin America, and with Republicans calling for "Mass Deportation Now," Latinos in the US find themselves in the crosshairs of a national debate over immigration, border policy, racism, and economic justice. What can the Chicano Movement of the 20th century teach us about how to combat attacks on Latinos and other marginalized groups today? Last week, to mark the 54th anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium, The Marc Steiner Show hosted a retrospective panel on the role of the Chicano Movement in building an anti-imperialist front in the US. For a follow-up discussion on how the lessons of the past can be applied to the future of Latino organizing, longtime Chicano liberation and environmental justice activist Bill Gallegos returns to the show, along with Maricela Guzman of the Mexican Solidarity Project and Eddie Bonilla, professor of history at Boston College.Read the transcript of this podcast here. Studio Production: Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: Alina NehlichHelp us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

On August 29, 1970, the Chicano Moratorium Against the Viet Nam War mobilized the largest Chicano protest and the largest anti-war protest led by a community of color at the time. Combining a critique of US imperialism abroad and racism at home, the Chicano Moratorium was the result of years of organizing and consciousness raising by Chicano liberation activists around the country.

Dr, Mario Garcia, professor of Chicano Studies at UCSB, is a historian who shares his views on the life journalist Ruben Salazar. Salazar was one of the first Mexican-American journalists to work at the Los Angeles Times and cover issues of concern to the Mexican-American community. He also worked as a journalist for Spanish-language TV station KMEX 34. Garcia has studied Salazar and his impact on the Chicano community and activism. Salazar died controversially at the hands of authorities while covering the Chicano Moratorium in 1970, a protest against the Vietnam War. Garcia also talks about the state of race in 2021, the crisis at the border from Central American refugees and a variety of historical topics.

This month on Code Switch, we're thinking a lot about family and history. So we wanted to bring you this special episode from our friends at NPR's It's Been A Minute podcast, where producer Andrea Gutierrez tells the story of how her father was involved in the Chicano Moratorium of 1970 — and what that taught her and her sister about their identities.

During this episode wherein I use the Chicano Moratorium that occurred 50 years ago, and the 25th anniversary of Proposition 209, to frame my conversation with one of California labor union's active voices as a leader and an educator. Talking about a myriad of topics that intersect with the lived experiences of some Latinx folk, amidst the cross-currents of political and social movements for change, this is a very exciting episode.

Even folks who live here, as I have since 1975, may have little idea of the central role Los Angeles played in the culture and politics of the 1960s. Too often LA is portrayed as Gidget, Beach Boys, and the Sunset Strip. Wiener and co-author, Mike Davis (City of Quartz) offer a "movement history" featuring early Black Power, the Watts uprising, the Chicano Moratorium, and LA's star turn as a locus of the anti-war, gay lib, and women's movements, as well as a driver of the counterculture. Wiener and I both arrived here in 1969 and this conversation is a lot of fun.

Aug. 29 marks 50 years since the National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War took place in the streets of East Los Angeles. Targeting the war's disproportionate Chicano mortality rate, the protest was the largest gathering of Mexican American demonstrators up to that point, with more than 20,000 people taking part. But conflict between sheriff's deputies and protesters turned the day violent, culminating in hundreds of arrests and three deaths, including that of pioneer Latino journalist Ruben Salazar. We’ll talk about a new project from the Los Angeles Times exploring the Moratorium's legacy.

This week, Tre’vell and Jarrett are joined by Seth Brundle and Dr. Charles HF Davis for an honest and open discussion about the myriad of ways cishet Black men are failing the Black community. This should go without saying but let's just say it: We LOVE Black men. We love the resilience, the vulnerability, the joy in spite of a country that seeks to harm, the righteous anger, the creativity and all of the good-good that goes along with being a Black man in America and beyond!But…There's some fuckbois in this house. We dig deeper into the recent story of hip hop star Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez and why the latter thought pulling a gun on the former was anything other than the absolute worst idea on the planet. Plus, we'll talk about the various ways Black men can show up for each other and their communities without falling victim to toxic masculinity.But first...A Tough Question:This week, Jarrett seeks advice from Tre'vell on the screening process Black folks should implement to screen out potential White love interests who aren't as "down for the cause" as they should be.  DIS/Honorable MentionsThis week, we give an honorable mention to Mike Hill who has a new book out and Jamie Harrison who could potentially unseat Lady G in the Senate. Click here if you're interested in making a donation to Harrison's campaign.We've also got some honorable mentions for the team over at the Los Angeles Times who handled the Chicano Moratorium retrospective and Black game show contestants. DISHONORABLE mentions go out to The Whitney Museum which recently “acquired” works from Black and Black queer and trans artists via print sales for the movement. In addition to the art they also had a bunch of audacity. Lastly, a dishonorable mention to the police involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake. Black Lives Matter...kind of weird that we keep having to say this. Show NotesKeep up to date on this week's guests here and here. Catch Jarrett and April Ryan's conversation about Madame Be Best and her lil speech here. #BlackLivesMatter#JusticeforBreonnaTaylor#BlackTransLivesMatter Go ahead and @ us Email: FANTI@maximumfun.org @FANTIpodcast@Jarrett Hill@rayzon (Tre’Vell) @FANTIpodcast@TreVellAnderson@JarrettHill@Swish (Producer Laura Swisher) FANTI is produced and distributed by MaximumFun.orgLaura Swisher is the senior producer. 

Old friend Gustavo Arellano stops by to talk about the LA Times huge feature that was published.  On Aug. 29, 1970, more than 20,000 demonstrators marched through East Los Angeles for the National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War. But the protest for peace devolved into conflict between demonstrators and sheriff’s deputies. By day’s end, hundreds were arrested and trailblazing Latino journalist Ruben Salazar was dead. The events and emotions of that chaotic day still reverberate in L.A.’s Latino community 50 years later.  

Fifty years ago, the Chicano Moratorium sought to underscore the costs of the Vietnam War among Latinos. What started out as a peaceful demonstration ended violently. Riot-clad police attacked the crowd, and the crowd pushed back. When it was all over, 400 people were arrested, and four people were dead. One of those killed was Los Angeles Times reporter and KMEX news director Rubén Salazar.

On August 29, 1970, more than 20,000 demonstrators marched in East LA. The march was called The National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War. It began peacefully, but ended in widespread violence, arrests, and three deaths. That day had lasting effects on Chicano culture, politics, and art.

Today on AirTalk, we reflect on the 50th anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium protests. Also on the show, we answer your questions about COVID-19; preview the Republican National Convention; and more.

Today on Sojourner Truth: We commemorate the 49th anniversary of the Chicano moratorium, one of the most impactful events in Chicano history in the United States. On August 29, 1970, a huge march of about 30,000 mainly young people stormed East Los Angeles opposing the Vietnam War and demanding rights for Chicano people, especially in the areas of education and ethnic studies. The march was led by activists from local colleges and other schools and members of the Brown Berets, with roots in a high school student movement that led massive walkouts two years earlier in 1968 in East Los Angeles. These walkouts were known as the Chicano Blowouts, in which students protested against unequal and racist conditions in Los Angeles Unified School District high schools in East Los Angeles. The Chicano Blowouts, along with the Chicano Moratorium, were some of the largest mobilizations by Mexican-Americans to this date, as far as we know. During the Chicano Moratorium, police busted out their batons and tear gas canisters, forcibly breaking up the mass demonstration which was concentrated at Laguna Park. Four people died, dozens were injured and more than 150 people were arrested, according to historical records. Among the four people who were killed was Ruben Salazar, an award-winning journalist with the Los Angeles Times who was one of the few reporters on the ground providing coverage of the events. Our guests are Theresa Montaño, Sol Márquez and Bill Gallegos.

Mr. Munoz, one of the primary organizers of the Chicano Moratorium, and I discuss his views on the world today, the Chicano Movement, and how Latinx communities can use our presence in society to improve our quality of life and make an impact in our local social worlds.

James and Nnekay are hot and bothered about Britney's new album, Glory- She is also BACK with her performance at the VMA... which G-Money (whoever that is) tried to lay a big ole smooch on her face. Not to mention she had to go after BEYONCE who SHUT IT DOWN... but was it better than her concert? Colin Kaepernick of the 49ers is facing an unusual amount of grief by flexing his freedom of speech. Cause Nnekay and James to wonder... maybe it's time to pick or creaaaaaate a new national anthem.  Nnekay's topic for the day is the largest anti-war protest held by American Minorities: the Chicano Moratorium- which protested the Vietnam war as well as the ridiculously large amount of Mexican American soldier death. James is talking about the Church and it's priest who are spreading hate against the LGBT community and are closeted themselves. As well as illegally spending the money of church goers for their own gain.  Some things included in Quizlet Korner this week are: Dildos, Olympics, and Bath Houses... Think Nnekay can get at least one right this time?

In August 1970, tens of thousands of Mexican-Americans took part in a march against the Vietnam War known as the Chicano Moratorium. The protest in Los Angeles ended in chaos as police and demonstrators fought running street battles, resulting in three deaths. Rosalio Munoz was the organiser of the Chicano Moratorium.
