Walking into the University of California Los Angeles Chicano Studies Research Library one day in 1970 I saw the first Chicano mural in a higher education setting in the U.S.– art history in the making. I learned over time that our duty as trained historians is to gather vital documents, capture significant events in film or video, interview key players, and write about our findings. I am spending my short vacation time organizing photos. I have taken more than 20,000 since the 1970s. This week I have chosen 16 photos taken during the first half of 2024 as part of a photo journal. Enjoy.
