"It was beautiful" Salvador "Sal" Castro, leader of the 1968 LA school walk-out

PBS Evening News tonite..

This segment recalls how Parents stood with their kids when the young Latino students made demands on the unequal education system and WALKED OUT of classes in May 1968.

Kids and Parents together.

This is instructive to those millions of young graduates saddled with massive debts and new low-paying jobs. And their parents which share the burden. This will be a key specific issue with the potential for disruption in this society. And families can only be strengthened by moving on it.
