Ruben Salazar 18x24 Poster Print
Enjoy this Variant of a collaborative work created by @StuddMuffinDesign and @Blurbsmithblots. The Freedom Fighter series was created to not only reintroduce Champions of the People back to the community but to reignite and inspire a generation to make their voices heard. This poster has a partly glossy, partly matte finish.
"Ruben Salazar was a trailblazing Texas-to-California journalist who covered the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 70s. Salazar wrote for the Los Angeles Times and through investigative journalism, spoke out against Mexicans’ disproportionate deaths in the Vietnam War and police brutality against Chicanos. During the National Chicano Moratorium march on August 29, 1970, Salazar was struck & killed by a tear gas projectile fired by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Some felt his death was a calculated assassination, while the coroner ruled the incident a homicide. However, no one was prosecuted nor were charges filed. Salazar’s family later settled with Los Angeles County for $700,000. Salazar’s death became a renewed symbol of unjust treatment of Chicanos and Mexicans by U.S. Law Enforcement and Salazar is today seen as a martyr for truth, justice, and storytelling." -Maximo Anguiano @Blurbsmithblots
