Chicano Movement Symposium Series

The Chicano Movement Symposium Series & Peace and Dignity Project is proud to announce a project near completion, needs the community support to acquire the archival materials to complete the documentary entitled: "The Chicano Revolt from 1969-1971." This year marks the 50th anniversary of several significant event's in Chicano history that are critically important to the advancement of civil and human rights for all. The Chicano Movement Symposium Series and Peace and Dignity Project hosted a presentation commemorating the 50th anniversary of the January 31, 1971 Chicano Moratorium Rally. The presentation will include digitized documents, photo images in a virtual gallery, rare archival footages, news articles, and statements made by the former leadership. We are in need of $700 to acquiring research materials and rare film footages to explain our history. Reaching the goal in this campaign will allow us to move expeditiously within this project. We need your support! The Series will bring together activists, dignitaries, scholars, historians, photographers, artists, and writers who will engage in correcting the historical narrative as the participants share their eyewitness accounts of the turbulent times of the 60's and 70's.
