LA Times  

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone with local roots deeper than L.A.-born Cheech Marin, who parlayed a 1970s stoner comedy act into a six-decade movie and TV career, becoming a high-profile collector of Chicano art along the way — all while living in the Greater L.A. area.

The Chicano Moratorium was a 'catalytic moment' for L.A. art

LA Times  

It was a day that began with exuberance and then exploded in violence. The Chicano Moratorium, one former marcher said, “was a catalytic moment.” Judy Baca, then 23, was working as a roving art teacher for the Department of Recreation and Parks, holding workshops at Eastside community centers. The Moratorium “was a catalytic moment,” says Rita Gonzalez, a co-curator of …
