La Cucaracha: Chicano newspaper travelling exhibit

"La Cucaracha" was a Chicano newspaper published in Pueblo, Colorado. It was started by Juan and Deborah Espinosa. David Martinez, and Pablo Mora. The founders were students and activists at the University of Colorado Boulder during the Chicano Movement (early 1970s). Juan and David worked together on the "El Diaro de al Gente" and "Somos Aztlan" newspapers during their time at the university. After leaving CU, they started publishing "La Cucaracha" in May of 1976 and stopped publication in November, 1983. Topics covered include: Police brutality, education, land rights, healthcare, local, and national news. 

This exhibit features some of the top stories and issues from the era - 1976-1983 - from the pages of "La Cucaracha". The panels were designed and coordinated by Juan Espinosa, David Martinez, Pablo Mora. Deborah Mora Espinosa. Rita J. Martinez and Jose Esteban Ortega contributed valuable input.     

Fresh Banana Leaves by Jessica Hernandez, Ph.D.

One Book, One Regis

Author Jessica Hernandez–Maya Ch’orti’ and Zapotec environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Piña Soul–introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces, that generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives, citing the restoration work of urban Indigenous people in Seattle; her family’s fight against ecoterrorism in Latin America; and holistic land management approaches of Indigenous groups across the continent.
