Tour begins at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes
How did this tidal wave of violence, specifically against Mexican American zoot suiters, known as pachucos, all start? Well, we’re going to take the story back to the beginning and learn the way that brown youth became the scapegoats of an era of white societies hyper US-nationalism; and targets when these pachucos refused to adhere to boundaries of racial segregation which dominated that era, choosing to instead stake a claim in society like everyone else. Stops on this tour include, Sleepy Lagoon, the Herald Examiner, Orpheum Theater, the Hall of Justice, the Navy Armory, Chavez Ravine, LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, and many more.
