These are two excerpts from a speech made by Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales in 1969 at UCLA, one of the four founders of the radical Chicano political movement. The “Mission” incident he talks about is apparently the famous case, in which Chicanos killed a cop in the Mission District of San Francisco in 1969. These revolutionary ideas are still taught in Chicano studies classes in universities and high schools across the nation.
