The Brown Berets
The Brown Berets, as Explained by Founding Member Dr. David Sanchez “I had a mistaken identity and got beat up by some policemen, and after that I had a different picture of the world." https://www.teenvogue.com/story/brown-berets-as-explained-by-founding-member-dr-david-sanchez Fight Back! interviewed Carlos Montes, one of the founders and former Minister of Information of the Brown Berets National Office in East Los Angeles from 1967 to 1970. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Brown Berets emerged as one of the most powerful and militant organizations in the Chicano liberation movement. Like the Black Panther Party, the Brown Berets were hit hard by government repression. This interview brings out a part of our history that is rarely taught in schools and some lessons for today’s activists from our movement’s past. https://inside.sfuhs.org/dept/history/US_History_reader/Chapter14/brownberets.htm The women of the Brown Berets — Las Adelitas de Aztlán — break free and form their own movement. https://www.latimes.com/projects/chicano-moratorium/female-brown-berets-create-chicana-movement/ Brown Berets - Interview with La Verdad. https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb32436419 |
