In 1967, a little known community leader caught national attention when he led an armed raid on the Tierra Amarilla county courthouse in New Mexico, fighting for what he said was the defense of land rights. Reies Lopez Tijerina would quickly become one of the most influential leaders of the Chicano Movement. Today, we look back at the story of this nearly forgotten leader and examine why some call him the ‘Ultimate Chicano Nationalist.’ And Latino USA’s Mincho Jacob discusses the biggest health issues for Latinos with Dr. Greg Talavera.http://www.latinousa.org/979-2/
