MONTOYA FAMILY MEMORIAL for
SACRAMENTO ARTIST AND POET JOSÉ MONTOYA – ¡LA LOCURA CURA!
Dolores Huerta and Edward James Olmos Among Friends to Pay Public Tribute
SACRAMENTO, CA –  On Thursday, January 23, 2014, the children of José Montoya, Sacramento artist, poet, and activist who died at the age of 81 on September 25, 2013, will host an evening at Sacramento's Crest Theater in commemoration of his life in a public memorial with tributes by the legendary Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom; Luis Valdez, founder of El Teatro Campesino and writer and director of Zoot Suit and La Bamba; and Academy Award nominated and Emmy Award winning actor Edward James Olmos.  Family members presenting include Jose's sons - Poetry Unplugged founder, Joe Montoya, Jr., and Culture Clash co-founder and actor Richard Montoya, along with many others.

The literal translation of "la locura cura" is "craziness heals" and was coined by Montoya as a way to explain the unconventionally successful creativity of the RCAF, the Royal Chicano Air Force, a group he co-founded of Chicano artists- mostly professors and students who were and still are prolific Sacramento artists devoted to advancing social justice through visual and performing arts. 

Many regional events throughout the nation have been dedicated to Montoya's memory, and the family has been deeply touched by the tributes organized by artists, poets, community members, and former students. However, this free, public event planned in Sacramento is the only Montoya-family produced tribute event that will honor the memory of Montoya and his contributions in all of the many worlds in which he served including his early years in New Mexico, California's Central Valley, the US Navy, his college life, teaching, and his activism.

WHAT:
Montoya Family Memorial in Honor of José Montoya
WHO:
Indigenous and Catholic Ceremony, Dolores Huerta, Luis Valdez,
Edward James Olmos, Culture Clash members, Joe Montoya, Jr., 
U.S. Veteran Honor Guard, Circulo de Hombres, RCAF, Mariachi and more

WHEN:
Thursday, January 23, 2014
6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
WHERE:
CREST Theater 1013 K St.   Sacramento, CA   95814

FILE - In this May 15, 2012, file photo, retired California Supreme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso, speaks at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif. The Obama administration is aggressively pursuing lawsuits over minority voting rights in Texas and North Carolina, but the Justice Department has sat on evidence that the latest round of redistricting in Los Angeles County unfairly reduces the influence of Latino voters. "I support the Obama administration and the president, but frankly, Obama and the top people around him seem to be unaware on this issue. Obama is somewhat blind to the issues of Latinos," said Reynoso, who is also a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Reynoso said the administration seems more attuned to voting-rights complaints of African-Americans.(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)

Remember! The concentration on the coordination of communication is key for any liberation matrix with a forward vision. All issues, causes, campaigns and petitions related to humane rights are connected in the context of connected reality.

People are dying now who could be saved, our Mother Earth is being molested and raped by addicted corporate capitalists. Do whatever you can to help save Mother Earth! Venceremos! +Peter S. López aka +@Peta_de_Aztlan
