We are coming up on the 50th anniversary of an unsolved crime. In 1974, the Boulder Six were Chicano student activists killed in two car bombs. Learn who they were and what they were working towards.

Spend the afternoon for a special film screening with Juan Espinosa on Los Seis de Boulder

 Sept. 16th at the Rawlings Library at 2:00 pm in the Ryals Room, 4th floor

 

Juan Espinosa was a soldier in Vietnam in the late 60s/early 70s, he joined the Anti-War Movement and Chicano Movement and attended the University of Colorado at Boulder as a journalism student. He became active in photographing historical moments of the Chicano Movement and has had an award-winning career in newspapers. Juan Espinosa will be showing his documentary about Los Seis de Boulder.

 Los Seis de Boulder were six Chicano student activists who died in May 1974 during weeks-long occupation of Temporary Building 1 on CU Boulder’s campus, in which students demanded continued funding and growth for the Educational Opportunity Programs that brought Mexican-American students and other marginalized students to campus beginning in 1968. 

On May 27, 1974, Una Jaakola, Reyes Martinez, and Neva Romero were killed in a car bomb at Chautauqua Park. On May 29, Francisco Dougherty, Heriberto Teran, and Florencio Granado were killed in a car bomb in a parking lot near 28th and Canyon. Antonio Alcantar was severely injured in that explosion. The circumstances surrounding their deaths were never adequately investigated, and the cases were never solved.
