“Question: Who was Ruben Salazar?
Answer: Salazar worked for The Times for 11 years as a reporter and foreign correspondent. He left the newspaper in 1970 to become news director of KMEX-TV but continued to write a weekly commentary for The Times. Many consider him one of the strongest voices in the Chicano rights movement that swept through Los Angeles and other cities in the 1960s and 1970s. He was killed at age 42 by a sheriff’s tear-gas projectile in an East Los Angeles bar, where he had stopped after covering an antiwar demonstration and rioting that erupted along Whittier Boulevard.”
