SPECIAL EXHIBIT!El Movimiento:

The Chicano Movement in Colorado

Coming in January 2016, the exhibit El Movimiento: The Chicano Movement in Colorado immerses visitors in the urgency, passion and vitality of one of Colorado’s most important social movements. In the 1960s and 1970s, Chicano activists in Colorado—an important center in the Chicano movemen—fought to end discrimination, secure rights and gain political and social power through education, culture and the arts. El Movimiento uses artifacts, images and the voices of Chicano activists to tell about the struggle for labor rights, land rights and other topics.

The exhibit originally opened in Denver on February 7, 2015. El Pueblo History Museum, with a group of community advisors, is bringing the exhibit to Pueblo and adding Pueblo artifacts and stories. This exhibit will open in January 2016 and run through December 2016.

The exhibit El Movimiento is featured in both English and Spanish text.

Duration: 2 hoursAge level: 4th grade or higherTimes: 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m.Cost: $3 per student; adults free. Discount for Title 1 schools

This very special program is only here for a limited time. Reserve today: 583-0453!
