Latinopia Event 1968 ELA Walkouts Legacy from Latinopia.com on Vimeo.
On March 1, 1968, thousands of students walked out of five predominantly Mexican American high schools in East Los Angeles. These walkouts arguably sparked the beginning of the Chicano Civil Rights Movement. Forty Years later, walkout leaders met to reflect on the legacy of the walkouts and what they portend for future generations of Mexican American youth.
