Colorado State University-Pueblo University Archives: The Colorado Chicano Movement Archives
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, and law and order policies, the movement also nurtured a cultural renaissance in Chicano art and literature. The Chicano Movement shook the social stratosphere of the state of Colorado and the story of el movimiento must be preserved.
