40 Years After Walkouts, Little Has Changed, Latinos Say - Los Angeles

In March of 1968, thousands of Chicano students, tired of suffering educational injustices, decided to walkout of their classrooms in protest and to demand changes to their educational plight. Students from the predominantly African-American Thomas Jefferson High School in South Central Los Angeles joined them in solidarity, according to La Prensa-San Diego.

Last week, marking the 40-year anniversary of the historic student action, student leaders of the 1968 protests were honored for their courage and bravery.”*
