Scope and Contents of the Materials

The Colorado Chicano Movement Archives contains manuscripts, audiovisual, and printed material related to the movement's activities in Colorado. Part of a greater national and international struggle challenging social injustice during the 1960s and 70s, the Chicano Movement was an engine for change and had a significant impact on the United States’ system of government. While providing a powerful impetus for transformation in the public education system, electoral politics, labor practices, and law and order policies, the movement also nurtured a cultural renaissance in Chicano art and literature.

The CCMA comprises 23 individual collections from Chicano activists and organizations including the papers of Juan Federico "Freddie Freak" Miguel Arguello Trujillo and Jose Esteban Ortega, CU-Boulder and Pueblo activists; the papers of Louie Luggs Garcia, Pueblo UFW, education and environmental racism activist; the United Mexican American Students, and the Deborah Martinez Martinez Papers which contain her interviews with Colorado Chicano leaders and Chicano newsletter, the Una Jaakola Collection, which provides documentation about Los Seis de Boulder, among others.
