August 28, 1970, pioneering Chicano Journalist Ruben Salazar was killed by a Los Angeles Sheriffs Deputy who fired a tear gas projectile into a bar literally blowing Ruben’s head off. On that day and at other Chicano Moratorium events protesting the Vietnam War and racism, several others were killed by the Sheriffs, including members of the National Brown Berets de Aztlan and Sephardic Jew Gustav Montag.

As we have done ever since, the National Chicano Moratorium Committee holds its annual commemoration of these events with a march, rally, entertainment and speakers that explain the history and how what we protested in 1970 is very much active and alive today as racism and war still plagues the world we live in.

If you are an entertainer (singer, instrumentalist, rapper, story teller, dancer, hip hop, visual artist???) can you serve la causa with your talents on August 28 at Ruben Salazar Park in East Los Angeles?
