Los Siete de la Raza (original) (raw)

Los Siete de la Raza (The Seven of the Hispanic Community) was the label given to seven young Latinos from the Mission District of San Francisco, California who were involved in a 1969 altercation with police that left one officer dead. The incident and subsequent trial became a cause célèbre of the Latin-American community and the New Left. All seven were acquitted.
