Description
Derived from materials donated by the Latin American Library (now Cesar E. Chavez Branch - Oakland Public Library), this collection of audio materials documents a wide spectrum of community organizing taking place in Chicano communities across California, primarily between 1963 and 1973. The materials in this collection cover a broad range of topics but are mainly focused on political struggles - those of farmworkers, students, and indigenous peoples; issues of land access and ownership; poetry and the arts; advocacy around issues of education inequality and poverty; and daily life in Chicano communities. Of specific note are recordings from the 1973 Festival de Flor y Canto (Festival of flower and song) featuring dozens of emerging Mexican American writers addressing a broad range of themes from personal stories to larger issues prominent in the Chicano Movement. These materials contain important voices, perspectives and contributions that deepen our understanding of social movements, artistic creation and community organizing and help to  preserve and amplify the role Chicano communities played in shaping California's unique and vibrant history during the 1960s and 1970s.
