The Autry Museum in Griffith Park La Raza, the influential bilingual newspaper published in Los Angeles from 1967-1977, provided a voice to the Chicano Rights Movement.

The archive of nearly 25,000 images created by these photographers, now housed at the Chicano Studies Research Center at UCLA, provides the foundation for an exhibition exploring photography’s role in articulating the social and political concerns of the
