UNC Students for a Democratic Society and the Carolina Hispanic Association (CHispA) invite you to a series of events:

Chicano Liberation and the Struggle for Immigrant's Rights

Screening of the film "Walkout"
Tuesday April 8 at 7pm in Greenlaw 413, UNC Campus

The film tells the story of the successful East LA walkouts in March 1968 when thousands of Chicano students protested the racist school conditions in LA. Their demands for better facilities, new schools, Chicano studies, an end to the high dropout rate and more college prep classes were met, resulting in reforms to the LA school system. The walkouts were organized by the Brown Berets, a revolutionary Chicano youth organization in the 1960s and 70s.

Talk by Carlos Montes (who is portrayed in Walkout)
Wednesday April 9 at 7pm in Greenlaw 413, UNC Campus

Carlos Montes worked with other Chicano revolutionaries to create the Brown Berets, an organization that fought racism in education and housing, police brutality and protested the Vietnam War. He will be speaking about his history organizing for Chicano rights and its ties to the current struggle for immigrant rights. Carlos Montes is a veteran of the Chicano liberation movement, a long time trade union organizer, and a leader of the immigrants rights movement in LA. He is a member of Latinos Against War and the March 25th Coalition.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear about the power of youth and students in the struggle for equal rights!
