I took this photo of David Sanchez, Prime Minister of Brown Berets 1970 recently at Salazar Park.
The National Brown Berets website has very cool historical photos.

Community activists held a panel discussion to recognize the 40th anniversary of a march through the rain in Los Angeles to protest the Vietnam War. Organizers say the ``March in the Rain'' was a turning point of the Chicano Movement.
