https://tinyurl.com/6mbp56sw The Colorado Chicano Movement Archives is part of the Southern Colorado Ethnic Heritage and Diversity Archives which seeks to preserve the rich heritage of Southern Colorado’s diverse ethnic, racial and cultural groups by collecting, preserving and making available the records, papers and manuscripts of the individuals, families and organizations who make up these groups. The Colorado Chicano Movement Archives contains audio, visual, and printed material related to the Mexicano people’s fight against racism and discrimination in Colorado. Part of a greater national and international struggle challenging social injustice during the 1960s and 70s, the Chicano Movement was an effective engine for change and had a significant impact on the United States’ system of government. While providing a powerful impetus for transformation in the public education system, electoral politics, labor practices, as well as law and order policies. The movement also nurtured a cultural renaissance in Chicano art and literature. The CCMA comprises 15+ individual collections from Chicano activists and organizations including the papers of Juan Federico "Freddie Freak" Miguel Arguello Trujillo and Jose Esteban Ortega, CU-Boulder and Pueblo activists; the papers of Louie Luggs Garcia, Pueblo UFW, education and environmental racism activist; and the Deborah Martinez Martinez Papers which contain her interviews with Colorado Chicano leaders and Chicano newsletter.
