Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection provides a glimpse into Chicano Movement issues and activities, primarily in Los Angeles, CA, 1968-1969. The majority of materials in the collection center on the Chicano struggle for educational reform.
The collection, accumulated by Joel Nossoff, includes his personal narrative and papers related to his arrest from sitting-in at Lincoln High School. News clippings document the sit-in as well as the mass walk-out by Mexican American students from high schools across East Los Angeles demanding educational reform. Two 60 minute audio recordings contain a speech by Sal Castro, and interviews by Joel Nossoff with Mexican American high school graduates concerning attitudes of high school teachers and counselors toward them. Photographs document a rally in support of Sal Castro. Newsletters, including El Nopal and printed materials relating to United Mexican American Students (UMAS) document activities at Cal State (Los Angeles) between 1968 and 1970. Also included are Nosoff's notes and curriculum materials from the Mexican American Studies program at Cal State (Los Angeles).
News clippings, flyers, and printed materials cover general topics such as Chicano youth, farm workers, Viet Nam, Reies Lopez Tijerina, etc. A collection of 14 buttons illustrate some of the prominent issues of the time, including the grape boycott, UMAS, La Raza, M.E.CH.A., Tom Bradley, Viet Nam, Robert Kennedy.
