The first National Chicano Youth Liberation Conference was held. This conference gave way to a document called, El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, which laid out the cultural, social, and political ideas and goals of the Chicano Movement. The Chicano Movement was born from the Mexican-American community who organized and resisted ‘economic slavery, political exploitation, ethnic and cultural psychological destruction and denial of civil and human rights’. Wouldn’t that make you want to fight, too?
