Chicano Park Celebration
Creator
Description
Chicano Park Day celebration with La Raza Cosmica (column T-46) central. San Diego Low Rider Council, the Brown Berets, and Volunteers all assisted. "Since 1971 after the 1970 land takeover, the Chicano Park Steering Committee has organized this event. There was a period when the CPSC was accepting funds from Budweiser, and Camel Companies. This became insulting to the Barrio Logan community when a large plastic inflatable beer can was placed next to the Kiosco in Chicano Park, and the camel advertisement banners were wrapped around the Royal Chicano Air Force mural, and around Chicano Park fences. Since this time period the CPSC has changed their fund raising tactics. The main activity the CPSC has engaged its members in is planning for each year's event. The CPSC was formed during negotiations with the city of San Diego. The Mexican American Federation, who became the Chicano Federation, became the umbrella organization to coordinate negotiations with the city of San Diego. Jessie Ramirez and Max Hernandez were the leadership for this time for the Chicano Federation." Salvador Torres
