Diego-Coronado bridge. This family event is always free and open to the public.
The theme for the the 43rd celebration is "Chicano Park: Aztlan's Jewel
& A National Chicano Treasure." This year's poster was designed by

commanding mural paintings of the past and present struggle of Mexican and
Chicano history. This year’s Chicano Park Day anniversary celebration is
dedicated to Chicano Park and the Chicano Park Murals being added to the
National Register of Historic Places.
Visitors to Chicano Park Day will experience traditional music and
dance, including one of the most beautiful performances of Aztec Indigenous dance,
coordinated by Danza Azteca Calpulli Mexihca. The event will also include a
blessing by Tim Red Bird and the Red Warriors, ballet folklorico groups,
numerous bands and speakers representing the Brown Berets de Aztlán, Amigos Car
Club, Via International, and the Chicano Park Steering Committee. In addition, there will be a display of
classic lowrider cars presented by Amigos Car Club, children’s art workshop led
by muralist Victor Ochoa and various informational booths. Food, arts and
crafts vendors will be selling their specialties throughout Chicano Park.

returns to Mexico amidst heightened security measures. Father Alejandro
Solalinde, a human rights defender for migrants’ rights, decided to return to
the migrants’ shelter Hermanos en el Camino (Brothers on the Road) which he has
run in Ixtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico since its opening in 2007. During his return to
Ixtepec, Father Solalinde was accompanied by the UN Human Rights Office in
Mexico, which has documented the threats and aggressions suffered by him and
the shelter’s personnel in recent years.

Latinos beyond Reel: Challenging a Media Stereotype- April 10
Wednesday, April 10
9:35 a.m.
City College Room V101
Filmmakers Miguel Picker and Chyng Sun examine how US news and
entertainment media portray -- and do not portray -- Latinos. Drawing on the
insights of Latino scholars, journalists, community leaders, actors, directors,
and producers, they uncover a pattern of gross misrepresentation and gross
under-representation -- a world in which Latinos tend to appear, if at all, as
gangsters and Mexican bandits, harlots and prostitutes, drug dealers and
welfare-leeching illegals.

Migra vs. Workers Rights- April 5
Hotel Hilton Mission Valley uses use the Migra to
Repress Workers´ Organization.
Repress Workers´ Organization.
Support the workers!
Wall of Hope, Friday, April 5, 5 pm
Collective Vigil, Monday, April 8, 7 pm
901 Camino Del Rio South at the Hilton Mission Valley
City Council Meeting, Monday, April 8, 2 pm
Downtown San Diego
A month ago, the new owners of the Hilton Mission Valley announced
they will retain all the workers. The managers said all workers would be laid
off. This decision would mean that more than 100 San Diego families would be thrown
into unemployment.
Thanks to the solidarity of over 700 individuals who sent
Tarsadia executives emails urging them to retain all Hilton Mission Valley
workers, the managers gave up. More than a 100 people showed their support in
person in at sit-in at the hotel.
However, in retaliation, the Hotel used the Migra and fired
20 workers. The managers used the E-Verify supposedly to check the status of
the workers.
The E-verify program is voluntary for employers, and, with
very limited exceptions, is not intended to be used with existing employees. It
is only for newly hired employees. Immigrants make up the majority of the work
force at the hotel. Some of them have worked at the hotel for over 20 years.
The workers already had their documents reviewed at Hilton Mission Valley by
HEI Hotels when they were hired. Requiring employees who have worked at the
Hilton Mission Valley for years to go through this process is inherently unfair
to the workers at the hotel who should not have to prove anything to continue
in their jobs.
Archeology: 10,000 years of San Diego history- Apr 3
“10,000 Years: The Archeological Record of San Diego County”
A lecture by Annemarie Cox, Program Coordinator
San Diego Archeological Center
Wednesday, April 3
9:40 – 10:55 a.m.
Learning Resource Center, R-212
For 99% of human history, we lived as hunter-gatherers. In
an age of increasing emphasis on diversity, it is important to remember
that our biological and cultural make-up remains rooted in this shared
hunting and gathering lifestyle. Annemarie Cox, the Program Coordinator,
of the San Diego Archeological Center, will illuminate for us, in the
context of world history, the story of the hunter-gatherers who lived right
here, in the San Diego region, for over 10,000 years.
The companion exhibit, Shared Beginnings, on loan from the
San Diego Archeological Center, will be on display in the LRC during the
entire month of April. The San Diego Archaeological Center, created in
1993, serves as an archaeological curation facility for the San Diego
region and was the first nonprofit organization in the nation dedicated solely
to curating and sharing archaeological collections with the public. This
is a free event.
