LA RAZA UNIDA PARTY: 50th Anniversary Reunion

Chicano Movement leaders and activists will convene in San Antonio on Sept. 15-17, 2022, to commemorate and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the national Raza Unida Party (RUP). The conference will analyze the current socioeconomic conditions of the Mexican-origin population and salient issues affecting the population.

Thursday's panels will focus on “History and Legacy.” Sessions will include a look at the Winter Garden Project, the impact of Chicano music, poetry, Teatro, and literature; Chicano film production, and Mujeres de Raza Unida Party.

Co-sponsored by UTSA Libraries, the Libraries Special Collections division will exhibit selections from its archive of the Chicano Movement and Raza Unida Party.
