Sonny Madrid, the founder of Lowrider Magazine, died last month after a battle with cancer. He was 70.
The magazine he founded in 1977 was the first publication to chronicle and celebrate lowrider car culture in California. Beyond the tricked-out cars and pin-ups on the covers, the magazine played a role in the Chicano civil rights movement too.
Denise Sandoval, Professor of Chicano Studies at Cal State Northridge, joined Take Two to talk about Lowrider Magazine and Sonny Madrid's legacy.
