El Movimiento at Pueblo Community College
The Chicano Movement in Colorado and Pueblo
El Movimiento documents Chicano's struggle for justice in Colorado during the 1960's and 1970's through boycotts, demonstrations, and organized events. The exhibit, now located in the library at Pueblo Community College, tells additional stories about the struggle for health equity, recreational access, and Chicano music and news in southern Colorado.

La exposición, ahora en la biblioteca del Pueblo Community College, contiene historias adicionales acerca de la lucha por la equidad en la salud, el acceso a oportunidades recreativas, y la música y las noticias chicanas en el sur de Colorado.
