El Despertar
El Despertar explores the struggle of the Mexican-American community in Austin and Central Texas during the 60’s and 70’s as told by the residents that lived it. Beginning with a push for education and labor reform, the Austin Chicano movement gained momentum as people organized and united to fight for quality education, equal representation, and respect for their diverse culture. The local Chicano community placed the goals of the community first and made a lasting impact through their empowerment, sacrifices, accomplishments and failures.
