The Chicano Civil Rights Movement

AirTalk broadcasts live from the Luckman Intimate Theater at California State University, Los Angeles. Larry and a panel of guests discuss the rise of the Chicano Power Movement in the 1960s. What were the goals of the Chicano Movement? Who were some of the luminaries, both nationally and locally? Larry is joined by Dionne Espinoza, Assistant Professor of Chicano Studies; Ph.D. at Cal State, LA, Jesus Salvador Trevino, writer, director of episodic TV, and a chronicler and participant in the Chicano Movement, and Fernando Guerra, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for the Study of Los Angeles, at Loyola Marymount University, to discuss the successes of the movement, and also its legacy in present-day California.
