Commemoration of the Historic August 29th National Chicano Moratorium March
On Thursday, August 26, 2010, Unión del Barrio will be organizing a forum in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the historic “Chicano Moratorium Anti-War March of August 29th, 1970”.
40 years ago (August 29, 1970) close to 30,000 Raza and supporters, marched through the streets of East Los Angeles protesting the war in Viet Nam and the oppression of “Chicanos” (Mexicanos) here at home.
The commemorative forum will include speakers, a film screening, and photo/poster exhibition. It will have as its primary aim to tie the struggles of the past, to present issues and concerns of critical importance to our Raza.
