Chapter 17

I got this video from youtube.

This connects to the chapter because "Zanzibar" played an important role during the Chicano Movement. Since his death Acosta was accused of his murder and the government offices were being targeted by underground bombers.

I did not like this chapter because the judge did not let Acosta act like a lawyer and treated him like a criminal.

I will remember that even though this case scene happened in the 1960's one can see this happening towards the Chicanos today, and racism can be seen anywhere. The Moratorium is celebrated until this day and one can remember the Chicanos who struggled to be "equal" and treated better by society.
