In The Chicano Generation, veteran Chicano civil rights scholar Mario T. García provides a rare look inside the struggles of the 1960s and 1970s as they unfolded in Los Angeles. Based on in-depth interviews conducted with three key activists, this book illuminates the lives of Raul Ruiz, Gloria Arellanes, and Rosalio Muñoz—their family histories and widely divergent backgrounds; the events surrounding their growing consciousness as Chicanos; the sexism encountered by Arellanes; and the aftermath of their political histories. In his substantial introduction, García situates the Chicano movement in Los Angeles and contextualizes activism within the largest civil rights and empowerment struggle by Mexican Americans in US history—a struggle that featured César Chávez and the farm workers, the student movement highlighted by the 1968 LA school blowouts, the Chicano antiwar movement, the organization of La Raza Unida Party, the Chicana feminist movement, the organizing of undocumented workers, and the Chicano Renaissance.  Weaving this revolution against a backdrop of historic Mexican American activism from the 1930s to the 1960s and the contemporary black power and black civil rights movements, García gives readers the best representations of the Chicano generation in Los Angeles.

Trabajadores de la planta de San Luis Rassini, ubicada en Piedras Negras, iniciaron ayer un conflicto intersindical al acusar al lider de la CTM, Osvaldo Mata, de imponer como secretario general de la planta a Omar Hernandez. Rosalio Munoz Munoz, acompanado de unos 30 trabajadores de la Seccion 11 de Rassini, senalo que Mata pretende imponer a un secretario general sin que haya elecciones, ya que se van a fusionar con la seccion 13 que tambien opera en Piedras Negras. El viernes, durante la visita del Gobernador Humberto Moreira a la ciudad, un grupo de trabajadores quiso hacer de su conocimiento sobre el problema, pero estos fueron abordados por el dirigente de la CTM en Piedras Negras, Leocadio Hernandez, quien les pidio agotar las instancias para despues el interceder ante el dirigente estatal Tereso Medina.

[Rosalio F. Munoz], a pioneering Mexican American educator who was one of the highest-ranking Latino administrators in the Los Angeles Unified School District when he retired in the 1970s, died of natural causes May 20 at his Highland Park home. He was 91. Munoz is survived by his wife of 63 years, Maria; daughters Margaret Orona, Maria Rosalia Wartnik and Elvira Munoz Geoghegan; sons Rosalio, Carlos and Ricardo; a sister, Josephine Rodriguez; 13 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. ROSALIO F. MUNOZ Barred from Texas schools until age 10 as an immigrant, he was the first Latino to earn a master's in education at Arizona State.

Rosalio Munoz, trabajador de la empresa y quien es apoyado por la mayoria de los trabajadores sindicalizados para ser su Secretario General, afirmo que van a despedirse 100 trabajadores, de los cuales 20 ya se efectuaron, lo cual es aprovechado para eliminar a personal que esta considerado dentro de la planilla que propondra para las elecciones de dirigente sindical de la empresa. Mata pretende imponer como representante sindical a un lider que es apoyado solo por 700 trabajadores, luego de que se fusionaron las dos secciones, mientras que los inconformes representan mas de mil 200 obreros y en un recuento sindical realizado en las instalaciones del SUTERM en Piedras Negras, la mayoria se manifesto por Rosalio Munoz.

Los obreros fueron reducidos en prestaciones como vacaciones, ahorro, comedor y salario con el fin de que la planta pudiera enfrentar los costos que se han incrementado por el aumento en el precio del gas, pero la maniobra presuntamente fue aprovechada por el dirigente sindical de la CTM, [Osvaldo Mata], para fusionar dos secciones, la 11 y la 13, sin convocar a elecciones, lo que provoco la manifestacion. Sanluis Rassini ha operado por mas de 30 anos en esta frontera en la fabricacion de autopartes automotrices como chasis, muelles y suspensiones y es considerada actualmente la empresa industrial mas importante de la region y el contrato colectivo esta bajo el control de la Federacion de Trabajadores de la region centro, CTM-Monclova.

[Rosalio Munoz] aseguro que el contrato sigue igual, pero la CTM de Monclova pretende enganar a los trabajadores en el sentido de que el contrato colectivo se cancelo y se vendio el mismo, lo cual ha sido rechazado por los trabajadores integrantes de la Seccion 13, la mas numerosa de la planta con mas de mil 200 obreros. Trabajadores de Rassini intentaron dialogar con el Gobernador Humberto Moreira en su mas reciente visita a Piedras Negras, pero fueron copados por el dirigente de la CTM local, Leocadio Hernandez, quien les ofrecio primero agotar las instancias de su dirigente [Osvaldo Mata], de Monclova, para despues pedir la intervencion de Medina.

\"There's been incalculable and important advances,\" [Rosalio Munoz] said. \"But there's a need to do more.\" \"It brings back history,\" [Rudy Quinonez] said after the performance. \"It's a part of history that hasn't been explored.\" \"The last 10 years, we've been trying to do it every year,\" she said. \"A lot of people don't know about what took place\" on Aug. 29, 1970, she said.

\"FCA US wishes to extend its deepest sympathies to the families of those affected by this horrific crash caused by a distracted drive, who slammed into the Jeep at a high rate of speed, and not by any defect in the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which meets or exceeds all applicable federal safety standards, including those governing fuel tank integrity,\" according to a statement issued by the Fiat Chrysler company.
