El Movimiento: The Chicano Movement in Northern Colorado
UNC’s Chicana/o and Latinx Studies and University Libraries have partnered to bring back the popular exhibit, El Movimiento: The Chicano Movement in Northern Colorado, immersing visitors in the urgency, passion, and vitality of one of Colorado’s most important social movements in the 1960s and 1970s.
