Abstract
Since his tragic death while covering the massive 1970 Chicano antiwar moratorium in Los Angeles, Ruben Salazar has become a legend in the Chicano community. As a reporter and later as a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, Salazar was the first journalist of Mexican American background to cross over into the mainstream English-language press. This collection of Salazar's writing is a testament to his role in the Mexican American community, journalism, and the evolution of race relations in the United States. Taken together, the stories and columns serve as a documentary history of the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and of the changing perspective of the nation as a whole.
