The Fruitvale History Project: Panel Discussion
Members of the Fruitvale History Project participated in a panel discussion on October 25th at the Cesar Chavez Branch Library in Oakland. The program was co-sponsored with The Oakland History Center.
Panelists discussed how the Civil Rights and Chicano Movements helped to fuel the creation of a community that brought forth needed public service agencies such as Centro Legal de La Raza, and the Spanish Speaking Citizen’s Foundation. They also discussed their own contributions and personal stories within this movement that played out in the streets of the Fruitvale neighborhood, including the political protests and camaraderie that developed among the activists and which continues to this day.
