Unidos Por La Causa: The Chicano
Experience in San Diego
The actual
exhibit is currently available for viewing at the City College Library. It has traveled around to multiple locations
over the last couple years including SDSU and the Logan Heights branch of San
Diego Public. I believe it is scheduled
to stay at City through spring 2016.
A bilingual
interactive online exhibit can be viewed here:
Unidos Por La Causa: The Chicano
Experience in San Diego is "a display of photographs, art, and historic documents
illustrating the early years of the Chicano movement for social justice and
civil rights in San Diego. The exhibit includes a rich and vivid presentation
of a selection of 62 movement-related posters and broadsides produced in the
1960s and 1970s promoting anti-war marches, UFW protests, student conferences
and many other cultural and political events, demonstrating the movement's
struggle for equal education and its resistance to injustice."
The online
version includes some videos. Meanwhile,
both the online version and the actual exhibit include many primary
documents. They are both very comprehensive
and impressive. Carve out some time to
take a look at one or the other, or both!
