This illustration was conceived on August 29th, 2010 after I attended the 40th anniversary of the East Los Angeles Chicano Moratoria at the East L.A. Civic Center-Belvedere Park Amphitheater. I wanted to honor the memory of Ruben F. Salazar, Sal B. Castro “El Maestro”, Cesar E. Chavez, and Celestino “Sal” Moncayo, Mi “carnal” and what they meant to all Chicano’s and our coming of age.
