Description:
Mark Guerrero (musician): Thursday, November 19th, 9:30AM-11AM in H-117/118. The Chicano/Latino Heritage Committee is proud to continue its annual celebration of Chicana/o and Latina/o history and culture by presenting a series of events that offers the Mesa College community with a better understanding of Chicana/o culture and its relation/impact to U.S. culture. This year’s theme, Cultura y Resistencia focuses on the impact that cultural expression has had on the political struggles of the Chicana/o community and works very well with the Humanities Institutes own theme for this year. This year’s celebration will consist of a panel discussion on San Diego’s Committee on Chicano Rights, as well as a presentation on the history of Chicano music by Mark Guerrero. We also hope to include a literary reading by East Los Angeles poet, Olga A. Garcia.
