CHICANOS IN MISSION DISTRICT
san francisco, ca (1960S-1970S-Present day)
For the brown/Chicanos that have had ancestors who have been here since 500 years ago. In San Francisco’s mission district, not only Chicanos but also Latinos who have been in the America before the 1960s, have always been pushed out of homes and cultura has been cut up and changed from Chicano identity. Many programs such as the El Comite para Liberar a los Siete de la Raza. In which this committee followed the black panthers militant ways, they preached self determination, and formed health clinics as well as free food programs just like the Chicano Revolutionary Party. Being proud that a brown person was Chicano would have been dangerous in the mission. It was not a sense of affirmation but a sense of resistance for the Chicanos.
PLAY ME.
