In East Los Angeles during the late 1960s and 1970s, a group of young activists used creative tools like writing and photography as a means for community organizing, providing a platform for the Chicano Movement in the form of the bilingual newspaper.
La Raza

Artbound "La Raza" is a KCETLink production in association with the Autry Museum of the American Westand UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center.

In partnership with the Chicano Studies Research Center, KCET is asking for your help in building a more robust archive. Do you know anything about the photos below? Click left or right to view the images and leave your comments below!

The 1960s and 70s were turbulent times. In those years, a group of intrepid young activists took over 25,000 images for the community newspaper-turned-magazine La Raza. Their photographs created a precious archive of the times through a Chicanx perspective. These photos now exist at UCLA's Chicano Studies Research Center, but not every photo has valuable information on them such as: where were they taken, who were in the photos and what was happening in the image.

Los 1960s y 70s fueron tiempos turbulentos. En esos años, un grupo de activistas intrépidos tomaron más de 25,000 imagenes para el periódico que se convirtió la revista llamada La Raza. Sus fotografias crearon un archivo importante de la época, desde el punto de vista Chicanx. Ahora estas fotos son guardadas en el Chicano Studies Research Center de UCLA pero todas las fotos tienen información valuable, por ejemplo: donde fueron tomadas, quien fue fotografiado y que estaba sucediendo cuando fueron tomadas.

Ahora, en asociación con el Chicano Studies Research Center de UCLA, KCET pide tu ayuda en identificar unas de estas fotos para proveer información adicional. Sabes algo de las fotos incluidas aquí? Haz click a la izquierda o derecha para ver las imagenes y deja tus comentarios abajo!
