Hundreds of people gathered in East Los Angeles on Saturday for a series of rallies marking the 50th anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium. Participants met Saturday at Atlantic Park and then marched to Laguna Park, which has since been renamed Salazar Park, for a second rally. Brown Berets join hundreds of people gathered at Ruben Salazar Park in Los Angeles. But as a Latina and a recent member of the Brown Berets, she couldn’t miss the Chicano Moratorium March. Several other marches, forums and movie screenings examining the impact of the Chicano Moratorium will also take place this weekend.
