This project was inspired by my childhood growing up in E. LA, my little brother, The facebook page "who remembers E. LA" , the 1970's LA riots, most of all Ruben Salazar, and let us not for get the "Chicano Moratorium"
Great video, but just want to make an important correction: the events of 1970 were not the "ELA Riots" or the "LA Riots," as you state in the video and in the description. Chicanos from ELA and from as far as other states where peacefully assembling at Laguna Park (now Salazar Park) when the police attacked men, women, children, and entire families. It was a Sheriff's (police) riot.
The Sheriff's murdered Ruben Salazar on that fateful day too.
