6:30 pm - Ernesto Fraga Lecture & Discussion
The Waco FOP are
excited to present a lecture by Mr. Ernesto Fraga, publisher of the TIEMPO
Newspaper, on The Chicano Struggle For Justice.
In light of the
recent presidential election that credits the Latino vote as being pivotal in
present and future elections, there is a need for a greater understanding of
the Chicano struggle that paved the way for today's realities. Chicanos have a
500 year history of struggling for justice since the Spanish conquest. Waco's TIEMPO
Newspaper is a product of the Chicano movement for self determination that has
dealt with the land struggle, bringing our history into the classrooms,
immigration reform, police brutality, equal representation, political
prisoners, Mexico/Central America, and coalition building with other movements
for generations. This presentation will bring to light what has not been heard
in mainstream media and our own history books. It's a story of yesterday, today
and tomorrow.
