Fire in the Streets

In March 1969, students walked out of Denver West High School, protesting the racism of their teachers and the system. Their actions were met with billy clubs and tear gas. Fifty years later we remember the incendiary actions that made a movement. Catch scenes from the hit Su Teatro production, Chicano Power 1969: Fire in the Streets, written and directed by Anthony J. Garcia. Visit all Arts + Culture sites on this list for a chance to experience “art bursts” inspired by the play.
