Moderated by Ricardo Moya. The speakers discuss the richness of the Chicano culture -- its language, traditions, and people. Speeches highlight Chicano attempts to participate in government, to improve education and equal opportunities for young adults, and to attain appointments to judicial positions. The main speaker, Calleros, claims that the term 'harvest of shame' evokes the hard work and inequality Chicanos have endured: changes in language, the Mexican territories lost to the U.S. in 1848, and other injustices inflicted upon Chicanos.
