This Common Experience event will shine the light on the 1943 Los Angeles riots that pitted U.S. sailors against Mexican “pachucos,” known collectively as the Zoot Suit riots. Valdez’s most recognized play, Zoot Suit, and the Pachuco riots will be the main topic of the lecture. Known as the Father of Chicano Theatre, Valdez is credited for giving strength to the Chicano Movement in the 1960s.”
