This should be taught to everybody in schools, Sal was a good man, I'ts a shame how they don't teach alot of Mexican American history in schools, alot of things are unheard of, you need to really dig to learn about our own history! Que Viva La Raza!!! Brown is beautiful!
Robert Gonzalez Just had to proclaim Loud and Proud as I watch these videos! Puro Chicano Pride! We need this type of movement in our young people ...Viva mi Raza Mexicana! !
Oh please! I'm Japanese. My parents taught me about my history and culture. I also attended Japanese School on Saturdays. All the Japanese did. American Schools teach American history.
So filled with hate, I am sorry you still have so much hurt from the past parts of your life. I hope you will be able to overcome your feelings of hatred, and at a basic level, be able to understand the importance of the walkous. I am sorry society at the time treated you so poorly, and I hope you can release those feelings and move on positively for the remainder of you life. Your negativity, obviously, is the voice of your pain. May you find Peace.
I’m so so proud of all of these brave Mexican-American students who fought for what they knew they deserve!!! They paved a path for the future we don’t ever hear about again. THANK ALL OF YOU!!
I'm Mexican, I graduated from Lincoln High School, I'm in college. To see this, makes me proud! We named the area between 100 building and the auditorium Castro Hall! I'm proud to be Mexican.
You might be interested to know I found this video because it's a part of our lesson in the civil rights movement. I'm currently working on an assignment on his marches right now.
Those who knew Mr Sal Castro knows the true meaning of his most famous quote " Is a good day to be a Chicano" a wonderful and beautiful soul of a man and I was one of the lucky to have him as my history teacher at Belmont high. May his legacy forever lived on has part as the Mexican American history!!
Our nation grants us the right to assemble and protest against injustice as American citizens. But the Foreigners (the Anglo) wants to deny us those rights at every given moment. Right here you can acknowledge that our Nation and the Anglos are two different forces on the opposite sides of each other "Our country does not discriminate against us." It is time to be proud to be Americans. God Bless America
Wow. This brought a tear to my eye. Viva La Justicia! Thanks to you Sal Castro, I, a Mexican American female student, am able to pursue higher education and graduate with my Bachelors in about three weeks. This small clip shows the struggle those students went through not only to demand a better quality of education for themselves, but for many generations to come. I wish my history classes in middle/high schools would have shown clips like this. A real hero, my most sincere respect. Thank you, Sal Castro.
Every chance I get, I do my best to educate….but it is becoming harder to reach rational minds… I’ll keep educating I’ll keep planting those seeds I’ve been brainstorming for many years on how to reach them…. We need more people like sal Turn off all your distractions Learn the game, and beat them at it
@@lykndeltoroyou are too dumb to understand! Ima dreamer. I was raised in norte de California from the age of 2. I feel more American than Mexican. I speak English more. When I go to Mexico im American cause my Spanish isn’t good. So stfu. Without paisas there won’t be Chicanos. Ignorant phuck.
Aren't "dreamers" Mexicans born outside the U.S.? The term Chicano means Mexican American. A person born in the United States from Mexican ancestry/Hispanic ethnicity.
Gracias Senor Castro and all that walked out for a better education ! I am a proud chicana with 3 brown beautiful children. I made alot of mistakes in life however I always made sure I educate myself finally this is my last semester in college and of course will continue. Education is vital and I finally understood it. Its better late then never.
I graduated class of 1995 in Los Angeles. Just today I found out about this. An Educator who lived in East LA during this time shared amazing unique stories. I quote " It was a wonderful time to grow up in". I thanked her for her story. I thank all Students, Mr. Sal Castro, and individuals united. I'll always be thankful.
I loved history as a kid and i remember as a sophmore in HS i took world history and there was only 1 paragraph in the txt book. about mexican americans and it was about the zoot suit riot. I was like wait a minute theres way more to this. And i signed up to chicano studies. Power to our ppl
Thanks so much for this. Historically important and superbly produced. I used it in my seventh grade social studies class this morning. The students, 95% Chicano/a, Mexicano/a, and Latino/a, were riveted and inspired !!!
Mr. Alan Gershman, teacher at Roosevelt High school in 1968 was a great teacher who explained our rights as students and did not pass judgment on our actions. He would let us know that if we felt the need to participate in the walk-outs, he would not stop us nor discipline us. He was not directly involved with the movement but was aware of the flaws in our educational system and was sympathetic to our cause. We walk-out students at RHS respected Mr. Gershman, it was rare in those days for any teacher, especially a white teacher to support our struggle, HE DID and I thank him.
I was never taught this until I went to college and my professor told me to take his class and I learn so many things about my history that I did not know existed.
It was a honor to work with you SAL your legend will carry On. Chicano Students are growing and having good jobs all because YOU. A GENTLE SPIRIT Que Viva Chicano Students look out OBAMA Viva La Raza UNITED
I graduated in 1969 from Roosevelt High School and there were a lot of sympathetic teachers, one in particular was Mr. Alan Gershman. He had worked with Sal Castro in the past. When we walked out from his class he did not encourage us but told us that he would not stop us or prevent us or threaten us if we participated.
I teach this in my Ethnic Studies class and today I am specifically focusing on Sal Castro for our Ancestor Recognition. He is a hero and such an inspiration and being a Chicana and Social Studies teacher, I thank him and all his dedication to the Chicano community. I also want to mention that my parents were those students that walked out in 1968. My mother Olga Martinez and father William Ortiz went to Roosevelt and Wilson High! Viva La Raza!!!!
To those that tells us to “speak English this is America”... we are not in the 1960’s. If you have a problem with that we could take it all the way to the US Supreme Court.
Usa seems to be the only country with that problem. Other countries people speak up to 3 languages. It makes kids smarter and globalization is going to require you to learn a other languages how the hell you are going to communicate. Yes take us to US supreme court im with you
We watched the movie in school today, and it just felt too real. Watching all those students peacefully protesting and the police had to butt in and cause a chaos.
God bless the brother Sal Castro. The struggle still continues, things are back to how they were and worse! We still have inequality in our communities, racist discriminatory school staff that denies us opportunities! They want us to keep being "passive" and not care about our future.
i went to Roosevelt high , ran around those stairs that football field and never knew about the injustice that had happened there . The school never thought us about it .
All of these comments are from 7-8 years ago when this isn’t something that should be forgotten about this still needs to be discussed more people need to know about this
This information teaches us Mexican Americans the struggle our ancestors had to push through to get us where we are at today.... Still much to fight for to change our public schools....
I went to Belmont High and had no idea there was a walk out there, too until recently. As an adult, it has been an emotional journey learning about our history.

It was terribly hard to convince our Mexican parents of that time, that this student cause was a good cause. Most of our parents were more afraid than us about the consequences of our protest but later as they saw the helmeted cops beating us on TV, some of them joined us. Mr. Sal Castro RIP.
Hi Lizett, There are a couple of ways to cite a film in an essay, but I think it would be fine to cite it as the following: Sal Castro & the East Los Angeles Walkouts. Producer/Director: Sotomayor, Alison. Writer/Narrator: Morrison, Patt. Editor: Carillo, Noe. 2006. Online film. I would italicize the title of it, too. Many thanks and good luck! Alison
Sal told me, back when I was in Junior College at Fresno City, "Be a squeaky wheel mijo, be the cricket in the lions ear!" And now I am 2 months away from receiving my Masters from USC getting ready for some necessary trouble!!!! They are not ready for this loudmouth Xicano!! I was told by a CSUF instructor we don't want to be known for sending VATO's out in the field (2018)?! Neo-Colonialism is REAL PEOPLE!!!!!!
It saddens me so how many comments I’m seeing about how this wasn’t taught to you I took Mexican American history and we learned about this and even watched the movie about this
I don't understand why this movement isn't in our history books. Especially California history. Regardless; thank you Mr. Sal Castro and all those who helped and paved the way to all us and future raza here in the Los Angeles community and everywhere else.
Well, I too am a Chicano. I was there in East LA saw this and participated in much more. As a veteran my advice to this generation now is this: It's far from over and things haven't changed much except for what is and has been allowed socially, politically, economically, and more. Maybe Chicanos need to look at themselves in the world mirror before God in Heaven. And ask: to what end is so-called education versus learning how to use their minds, brains, their will to live. Otherwise they are at the mercy of other nations. That's my experience from seeing other lands.
Thank you we need to remember the past in order to correct today's injustices it seems like nothing's changed in the barrio the radical past needs to come back ..
Mil gracias, Mercy. I know that Sal would have been so thankful to you to hear this if he were still alive. We must continue to teach the importance of our shared history, our search for our identity, and of Sal's extraordinary legacy to our next generation of young people, especially during this time of increasing political polarization and social divisiveness in our country. Sometimes protesting, fighting back, and having our voices heard is the way to provoke change and shape opinions. Viva La Raza!
I know for sure this is not taught in the schools, I just learned the whole story because I recently went back to college, after raising my children, I was 6 years old and lived across the street from Garfield high school, OMG, I thought to myself, this is what was happening in my own neighborhood, I was just a little girl, I do remember getting swats in Jr. High and is was legal. I decided to ask if I can come in as a guess speaker in some schools. The students need to know the History if Chicano

The visuals were not cleared for broadcast since that was not the intention of the initial production of the video, however, you may watch it in the classroom for your students if you wish. It is posted for educational use. Thank you for your email.
Hi Jack, it's not for sale, unfortunately. This short film was produced in 2006 for the National Hispanic Media Coalition's gala which honored Sal Castro. If you would like it, please email the Coalition as it belongs to them. www.nhmc.org
Wow we all grew up watching the injustices of blacks.but right now 2024 in just learning about this???? I never knew any of this. We must make movies about it and thats what they dont want.
You would be surprised to see where Sal sits now. A guy that was considered to be a "rebel rouser." Of all places, in the board of education. He might've retired.
Can you activate community contributions for subtitles/transcriptions, please? The automated transcription and subtitles in Spanish are not accurate. If you activate community contributions these can be updated by your viewers.
I see a lot of comments saying this should be taught in school. I hope the person who posted this sees this comment because this is part of the curriculum in one of my social studies classes.
Sal Castro was a true leader who was able to discern the wrongs perpetrated on the Mexican community in Los Angeles long before the spotlight was cast in his direction. He fought hard and he fought the good fight for many to follow years after his termination and subsequent reinstatement. His teachings and guidance should be part of secondary school curriculums throughout the United States, not as activism, but of education for those, no matter what color of one's skin to learn about and embrace human rights. One of the things not mentioned in this video was of the outcome of Castro's arrest where he was exposed to a 66 year incarceration. He was represented in court by another young Mexican human rights advocate attorney named Herman Sillas, also from the heart of Los Angeles. There are many unsung hero's in this story, but unfortunately this many years later there is still much work to be done to close the book on these uncivil actions. May Sal Castro rest in peace....
This should be taught to everybody in schools, Sal was a good man, I'ts a shame how they don't teach alot of Mexican American history in schools, alot of things are unheard of, you need to really dig to learn about our own history! Que Viva La Raza!!! Brown is beautiful!

I am a 43 year old alumi of LAUSD and I am just now learning about Mr. Castro. This need to be taught at ours schools.

Wow we all grew up watching the injustices of blacks.but right now 2024 in just learning about this????
I never knew any of this.
We must make movies about it and thats what they dont want.
Sal si puedes
08:27 😳 they were facing 66 years in prison? Seriously?!
You would be surprised to see where Sal sits now. A guy that was considered to be a "rebel rouser." Of all places, in the board of education. He might've retired.
He died in 2013
Where do I send my donation?

did they ever get the statue in the park where they protested?
To this day it is still not there. (Unfortunately)
I see a lot of comments saying this should be taught in school. I hope the person who posted this sees this comment because this is part of the curriculum in one of my social studies classes.
Thank you so much for teaching this important part of our community’s history. This should be taught in our schools. It’s time.
Sal Castro was a true leader who was able to discern the wrongs perpetrated on the Mexican community in Los Angeles long before the spotlight was cast in his direction. He fought hard and he fought the good fight for many to follow years after his termination and subsequent reinstatement. His teachings and guidance should be part of secondary school curriculums throughout the United States, not as activism, but of education for those, no matter what color of one's skin to learn about and embrace human rights.
One of the things not mentioned in this video was of the outcome of Castro's arrest where he was exposed to a 66 year incarceration. He was represented in court by another young Mexican human rights advocate attorney named Herman Sillas, also from the heart of Los Angeles. There are many unsung hero's in this story, but unfortunately this many years later there is still much work to be done to close the book on these uncivil actions. May Sal Castro rest in peace....
He was a good man, but goals are only short-term successes. That is why I can't be too enthusiastic about him.
would love for him to come to chicago
Different options??? You dj and sing? Or you have band?
What charge per hour to dj and sing some songs??
How can I cite this video if I am planning to use it as a reference in an essay?
Good luck :)
