Description:
A photograph of community members supporting the inmate hunger strike, holding protest signs. A handwritten caption reads, "1969-Protest". There is a cut-off article attached to the back of the photograph: "During the 1800's, the people of Mexico grew more [aware] of their problems in their barrios. There was dis[cri]mination in the schools, where the Spanish teacher [told] Mexicans that it was bad to be proud of their Indi[an] heritage, and that they better forget their dark s[kin] people and try to be white like the rich French an[d] rich Spanards. Many children started to believe t[his] and denied that they were Mexican, even though all [peop]ple of Mexican decent hold 60% Indian blood. But [then] there where a lot of people who were proud of thei[r] culture and heritage, and thus, denounced the Span[ish] lords. Because of this, the rich Spanish, French and Angl[os] who controlled Mexico with Spanish army from Spain wanted all who protested to be put into prison or [?] by the Spanish order."
