"United We Stand" against war, racism, poverty, and repression! On Aug. 24th, 2002, hundreds of Chicano/Mexicanos took to the streets in Highland Park to commemorate the original Aug. 29th Chicano Moratorium of 1970, when some 20,000 Chicano/Mexicanos took to the streets of East L.A. to demand an end to the Vietnam War. In this photograph one marcher carrys the official
Moratorium 2002 Poster. The Poster reads: CHICANO POWER! No more U.S. Wars! Demand Jobs, Schools, Health Care!" This Poster was displayed in storefront
windows in Highland Park as was also sold or given away at other Moratorium events.
CHICANO MORATORIUM 2002 will have an important closing Panel Discussion on Friday, August 30th. Veterans of the original moratorium will be on hand to

Angeles Street. For info call: 323-261-2286). The event is free and open to the entire community.
