Abstract
At a rally in front of the California capitol building on Immigrant Lobby Day in May 2001, my eyes were drawn to a T-shirt with the message, “Education is a Human Right.” David,1 the skinny teenager who wore the shirt, had a moustache spare with youth, and his gelled hair stood up in pointed tufts. David told me that he had come from Los Angeles on a bus full of activists to lobby for Assembly Bill (AB) 540, authored by his assembly member, Marco Antonio Firebaugh. The T-shirt came from a youth conference with the same theme run by a community-based coalition that joins Latinos and African Americans to develop leaders in South Los Angeles.2
