LOS QUE VIVIERON

On this week of El Dia de Los Muertos, we honor those who gave their lives in the Chicano Movement and all those who have passed with the taste of liberty on their tongues.

By CATALINA ESPINOSA MORA

Memorialized are those who died for La Causa!

Since the spring of ’73, 

the Raid on the Crusade for Justice.

Their deaths gave birth to new hope — 

El Movimiento. Never have we forgotten — 

Que Viva!

It is an honor to live for what you believe in…

To one that lived… the ones that walked the walk, talked the talk, did the work,  and fought the fight.

The ones who never gave up while in the trenches

They too leave their mark on History

El Mártir

The long endurance of a life of service, 

duty, and discipline

Facing injustice discrimination, and adversity.

The ones who master the art of communication, leadership and empowerment

It is a privilege to live for what you believe in

To the ones that lived, The lives of  those given by sacred corn

Balanced in-between the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon.

Returned to the Avenue of the Dead

Los Guerreros
