Mexican American/Chicano History: Chicano Student Movement
|
| Description: |
Louis Urzua participated in the Chicano movement. He grew up in Santa Barbara and, as a young man, became a pachuco. He believes the pachucos were precursors of the Chicano movement and were rebelling again discrimination such as the segregated schools he attended. Later he became involved in the Brown Berets and marched in the Chicano Moratorium against the Vietnam War. He believes Chicanos and Mexican immigrants should work together and even when elements in the large society try to play them off against each other.
