DESCRIPTION:
Community activists will hold a news conference to recognize the 40th anniversary of a march through the rain in Los Angeles to protest the Vietnam War. The "March in the Rain" was a turning point of the Chicano Movement.

Perhaps just as important is that the dramatic march, the on-looking crowd, and inspiring rally were filmed and professionally developed into a people’s documentary that truly made history, not awards but in the hearts and minds of the Chicano communities. The moratorium had 20 copies made that were shown hundreds and hundreds of times in barrio after barrio across the USA. When the film was shown to 2000 Chicano Youth Leaders at the 2nd Chicano Liberation Conference on March 28, 1970 at the Crusade for Justice in Denver, they overwhelmingly voted to support a National Chicano Moratorium on August 29, 1970 in East Los Angeles with smaller local moratoriums across the country organized to build for the national one. Some Chicanos who opposed the war in part felt that peace moratoriums were a white middle class “thing”, however, the film dramatically showed that Chicano moratoriums could be full of Chicano Power adding to all the peoples’ power for peace.

You can see this film this Sunday February 28 at 2pm at Salazar Park Hall 3864 Whittier Blvd (East) Los Angeles 90023. The film showing will be followed by a panel discussion of leaders of the 1970 march in the rain and activists of today. Its all about peace! The event is sponsored by the 40th Anniversary Commemoration Committee of the Chicano Moratoriums
