Description
Danzantes Aztecas, Chicano Park Steering Committee, Union Del Barrio, MEChA Central, Brown Berets, and many other volunteers march near Chicano Park. A camera crew films them. "Several demonstrations were held, along with community meetings to denounce any destruction to the Chicano Park and its monumental murals. (See Salvador Torres videos of the "Kiva" meetings denouncing Caltrans insenitivity, and racists tacticians that destroy Chicano communities in their "path of least resistance" in accomplishing their goals "for greater returns", that Barrio Logan is deprived of any revenues that have been collected (billions of toll bridge monies) and sent to 15 other county cities, and not one cent for our Chicano Park maintenance and our communities needs in health care and true cultural growth. This photo demonstrates how Barrio Logan respects and encourages our indigenous Chicano culture and art forms in fighting educative statements to protect and defend our authentic cultural growth."
