March held in memory of teen

“”We are standing up for our rights; it’s a new day for the Hispanic and Latino community,” said Cindy Cruz, an 18-year-old senior at Manuel Arts High School. “A lot of people said the only reason (students) did walkouts was to get out of school. Well, it’s Saturday, and we still care.”

Organizers say the march was held in memory of Anthony Soltero, a 14-year-old Ontario boy who killed himself March 30, two days after a pro-immigrant walkout by De Anza Middle School students.”
