Remember there’s only one rule, and one rule only. Don’t screw with the DJ!
DJ: The union made us stronger.
The Denver Police department and city officials hated the Chicano movement because they thought we were militant- that we were criminals. They thought we caused a lot of problems. But NO. No, we just believed in rights.
DJ: Even if you don’t believe it now, trust me when I tell you, it makes a difference.
Hey! Some of us are gonna run over to the pool and hand out flyers wanna come?

C: They were tough
My name is Teresa, but the nuns said it should be spelled Theresa or Therese with an “h” because that was how St. Therese spelled her name. When I came home with that name on my collar, my mom said OH NO! I was named after my grandmother Teresa, so there was not going to be any changes!
B: I’m getting hungry
Saturdays was pancakes, boiled eggs and bacon. Saturday evenings was enchiladas or tacos. On Sundays was roast or chicken mole.
