This digital zine was created by students in Professor Taft’s Spring 2024 LALS 155 class, “Latin American and Latinx Youth Movements.”
It draws from materials found in UCSC’s Special Collections and Archives, oral history interviews conducted by library staff and others, and a handful of new historical interviews with nine alumni.
Students created the zine in hopes of sharing some of the key activist moments on our campus, especially those led by Latinx students and other students of color, but it is far from exhaustive. There are many more stories to tell, and we plan to continue telling them.
