Border Correspondent by Ruben Salazar

Border Correspondent by Ruben Salazar

Since his tragic death while covering the massive 1970 Chicano antiwar moratorium in Los Angeles, Ruben Salazar has become a legend in the Chicano community. As a reporter and later as a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, Salazar was the first journalist of Mexican American background to cross over into the mainstream English-language press. This collection of Salazar's writing is a testament to his role in the Mexican American community, journalism, and the evolution of race relations in the United States. Taken together, the stories and columns serve as a documentary history of the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and of the changing perspective of the nation as a whole.

Ruben Salazar was a reporter and correspondent for the Los Angeles Times from 1959 until his death in 1970. Mario T. Garcia is Professor of History at the University of California at Santa Barbara. His most recent book is Memories of Chicano History: The Life and Narrative of Bert Corona (California, 1994).
