Tagged: Chicano, police, protest, Spanish-languageI didn’t know about this. Did you? I sometimes feel I know nothing about my heritage. Of course, over the past year I have learned a lot but the lessons never stop.

“Thirty-six years ago, Salazar, a 42-year-old Los Angeles journalist noted for his critical and aggressive reporting, was covering Vietnam War protests in that city.
The demonstration was known as the Chicano Moratorium, part of a long series of protests against the war and police abuses.
He was in the Silver Dollar Cafe near a park when a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy fired a projectile into the establishment. It killed Salazar, news director for the Spanish-language television station, KMEX, and a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.”
