Activism

Student organizations brought many speakers to the UI campus for discourse and dialogue. Each organization was proactive in their support and involvement with Chicano and American Indian Movements locally and nationally.

The LNACC sponsored a rally called “el Dia de la Raza” on Columbus Day – October 12, 1974.  El Teatro Zapatista, which was a group of UI students who performed plays about Chicano culture, performed a skit and young people from West Liberty, IA presented traditional dances.
