Remembering Ruben Salazar


In the 1960s, a Civil Rights Movement in the Latino community was beginning to take hold. Young Mexican Americans began to organize for greater political rights, better educational opportunities, and worked to establish a new collective identity. Los Angeles was the epicenter of this movement, and its chronicler was a journalist named Ruben Salazar. Ramona Martinez has this portrait of the best known Latino journalist of the 20th century.
