I was at the Chicano Moratorium on August 29, 1970 and even drove by the Silver Dollar Cafe after the pig riot and rampage. I had taken a van load of youth from the local Washington barrio down there and we all got scattered out after the pig riot; by a miracle we found our juventud and hit the freeway norte! We had gone down there through Delano, then, returned later that day to Delano where many of us re-grouped safe and sound. Compadre Cesar Chavez did not make it down there to East Los that day. So when we reached to Delano it was with a sense of relief and real thankfulness. Time marches on!
Remember you cannot swallow up uncritically all that is in Wikipedia, though, it is a great service for many there are natural edit and input flaws.
We are profoundly ignorant of all that we do not really know. To find you must seek, especially if you are a truth-seeker. The war rages on!

Ruben Salazar: March 3, 1928 - August 29, 1970
The Shot that Silenced a Mexican-American Journalist
"About thirty seconds before L.A. County Deputy Tom Wilson shoots his 10 inch projectile at Ruben Salazar's head, the unidentified deputy in the picture warns Franco, Garcia and Torres to "come out with your hands up!" They were not their intended targets. Ruben Salazar was just behind the three men. He was sitting on a stool approximately six feet from the door. Behind the deputy are two mothers screaming "don't shoot....please don't shoot!" Before and during the Chicano Moratorium March, there were scores of undercover L.A County Sheriffs surveying the entire march and in constant communications with the Sheriff's Command Center that was set up nearby. Some undercover agents were seen entering and leaving the Silver Dollar while Ruben Salazar was there. A Coroner's Panel ruled Salazar's killing a homicide but Deputy Tom Wilson was never brought to trial."

Chicano Moratorium: a very important chapter of history for the current generation to know, esp right now, with these "wars"?IMHO it wd be good if smbdy who was there (I was in SF at the time) was to go to the Wiki page & flesh outsome of the details mentioned by Dr Sanchez & perhaps others? Odd:Dr S did not say much about Ruben Salazar...?Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!Chicano Moratorium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1984 silkscreen poster from the San Francisco Bay Area in commemoration of the 1970 Chicano MoratoriumThe Chicano Moratorium, formally known as the National Chicano Moratorium Committee, was a movement of Chicano anti-war activists that built a broad-based but fragile coalition of Mexican-American groups to organize opposition to the Vietnam War. Led by activists from local colleges and members of the "Brown Berets", a group with roots in the high school student movement that staged walkouts in 1968, the coalition peaked with an August 29, 1970 march in East Los Angeles that drew 30,000 demonstrators.The most lasting impact of the movement was the death of Rubén Salazar, a journalist with the Los Angeles Times and local radio station KMEX known for his reporting on civil rights and police brutality. Salazar was killed by a tear gas canister fired by a member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department into the Silver Dollar Café at the conclusion of the August 29 rally, leading some to claim that he had been targeted. While an inquest found that his death was a homicide, the deputy sheriff who fired the shell was not prosecuted.The NCMC collapsed in the wake of that rally, which the Los Angeles Police Department broke up, arresting hundreds of demonstrators. The LAPD subsequently infiltrated agent provocateurs into the group and raided its offices. The organization dissolved by 1971.[edit] Sources
