The Continuing Quest for Equity in Education.
Fifty years after young Chicano activists in the 60s and 70s staged walkouts in schools of East Los Angeles, launched the Plan de Santa Barbara to create Chicana/o Studies in colleges and universities and fought for bilingual education, scholars and education activists meet in San Bernardino to pay tribute to movement veterans who fought those battles. The conference also focuses on the critical issues of the 21st Century for Latinos in education, including the fight against the school-to-prison pipeline, the challenges for ESL students, the Dreamers, funding for public schools in Latino communities, and the right to education.
Guests: Dr. Enrique Murillo, Professor, Executive Director LEAD Project, CSU San Bernardino, San Bernardino, CA; Prof. Armando Vazquez-Ramos, Co-Founder, Chicano and Latino Studies, CSU Long Beach, President, California-Mexico Studies Center, long Beach, CA; Dr. Rita M. Cepeda, Chancellor Emeritus, San Jose/Evergreen Community College District, San Jose, CA.
