MEChA meets SAL CASTRO (DNC Guest) (tags)
This is a photo of two Cal Poly MEChA students (Jessica and Esther wearing mecha shirts)with Sal Castro. He is a high school teacher for Belmont HS. Back in the 60s (1968)he was incarcerated for advising students to organize against the racism within the school system. The documentary called "CHICANO!" has footage and interviews with Sal Castro. After the blowouts in East LA and the release of Sal Castro, MEChA was founded at a conference at UC Santa Barbara in 1969. How ironic is that!
