"The Young Lords in Lincoln Park" collection grows out of decades of work to more fully document the history of Chicago's Puerto Rican community which gave birth to the Young Lords Organization and later, the Young Lords Party. Founded by Mr. José “Cha-Cha” Jiménez, the Young Lords became one of the premier struggles for international human rights. Where thriving church congregations, social and �political clubs, restaurants, groceries, and family residences once flourished, successive waves of urban renewal and gentrification forcibly displaced most of those Puerto Ricans, Mejicanos, other Latinos, working-class and impoverished families, and their children in the 1950s and 1960s. Today these same families and activists also risk losing their history. �Transcript JOSE JIMENEZ: -- when you were born and stuff like that. VINCENT VACA: I should set a new chapter for -- JJ: I’m not asking, when we -- VV: See, I call it Chapter Four because one through three are boring so the kids said all the good stuff after. JJ: -- we don’t need, we don’t need the social security ID. VV: You don’t need that, huh? JJ: Okay. VV: Thumbprint? JJ: Okay, then, Chapter Four. Okay, but just give me, I guess, your full name and where you were born. VV: Okay, my legal name is [Vincent Zachary Sidi Vaca?]. I’ve used various nom de guerres like [Chinta Quinte?], [Vince de Vaca?]. And I don’t use [Cavés la Vaca?] but so my family comes from New Mexico, both my mother and father’s side, and they can trace themselves back to 1598 with the Oñate Expedition. And -- JJ: What is that? What do you mean? VV: That’s the founding of the Spanish colony of New Mexico. JJ: Okay. VV: One of the first permanent colony, European colony, in [00:01:00] what is now the United States. So my family has continuously lived in what is now the United States for nine years before Jamestown, what, 22 years before Plymouth Colony. 1 �So who’s the illegal alien, pilgrim? (laughter) But then we got a lot of Indian, too. The fox got into the hen house a couple of times during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and with my grandma in the 1920s. (laughs) JJ: And what do you, what kind of, what kind of work do you do now? VV: I’m a college professor now. I’ve been teaching in higher education for 30 years. I started out the first nine years, I did part-time work in community colleges and until I finished my dissertation at the University of California [00:02:00] San Diego. And hooked up with a tenured-track position in Denver, Colorado, where I’ve been for the last 20 years. My parents got married in New Mexico, I was conceived in New Mexico. But because of the, World War II, a lot of his family had moved to San Diego so technically, I was born in California, San Diego, California, 1950. JJ: Okay. VV: And San Diego and Tijuana were very different than they are now. My dissertation was on Tijuana and 100 years ago, there were less than 1,000 people living in Tijuana. Now, there’s a million and a half. Pretty much using the same utilities, (laughs) the same sewer lines and things like that and San Diego has grown. There are more people in San Diego County than in the whole state of Colorado. JJ: Okay, and Vince, when [00:03:00] we were talking about 60, just 60 and you talk about the Brown Berets and then what? VV: Yeah, well, my political education comes from my family, too, because my maternal grandfather was a Democratic, he was a Democratic nominee for 2 �Franklin Rosevelt in 1940 election. And on my father’s side, [Jesse Kilsa de Vaca?], was the first Latino elected state governor in US history. He was elected as a Democrat. He was a, it was the first time he ever ran as a Democrat because before that, he was in the populist party of the Pueblo del Partido. It was kind of like IRA, [Féin Sinn?], the above-ground legal organization and then the illegal, underground terrorist group. The Pueblo [00:04:00] del Partido was the legal group. He edit, wrote newspaper articles and was a politician to restore stolen lands to the, to northern New Mexico villages while the Gorras Blancas were out there hanging people, burning down Santa Fe ring property and generally. So I have, I was raised on that. I had, the grandson of the governor was Donaldo “Tiny” Martinez who was the founder of the Mama Lucy faction in New Mexico politics. Which was a proto-Chicano, Left-wing faction within the state Democratic party that was very pro-Raza. And so we used to meet at Mama Lucy’s restaurant, that’s where they got the name. So I cut my teeth as a kid all my life on politics. But when I in high school [00:05:00] in 1968 with the world in flames, the Tet Offensive, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the Chicago Convention, all hell was breaking loose and I was about to go join the Marine Corps. Until March of my senior year, I hadn’t even applied to college. College recruiters came and recruited me to go to the brand-new university in UCSD up in La Jolla. But I had, was already helping to organize anti-war protests at my high school before I, and I was almost expelled because of that so... JJ: What school was that? 3 �VV: Stephen Watts Kearney High School in San Diego. Not far from where USD is located up there in Kearney Mesa, Linda Vista, military working-class community. But I quickly over the summer went to participated in [00:06:00] their summer program and so Israel Chávez was one of my first mentors as well as Angela Davis. The Black and the Black Student Council and MAYA, the Mexican American Youth Association, had a coalition on campus and they were mentoring all of the new freshman incoming Black and Brown students primarily from San Diego County but there were some, a few from Los Angeles, also. So I quickly became, my consciousness was raised, I guess. I had to decolonize my Spanish mentality and begin to adopt a more Mexican/Chicano perspective. So I still remember that first semester, Eldridge Cleaver have been fired [00:07:00] by Governor Reagan and he was going up and down the state giving speeches at the University of California. It was probably the first semester, first quarter and he filled up the gym. All he was saying after he made these loud criticisms of Ronald Reagan, he said, “Let’s be, let’s chant.” And he did this chant everywhere and everybody knew what was coming. He rocked the house for about half an hour leading a chant, “Fuck Ronald Reagan.” It kept escalating until the rafters were shaking. This was Angela Davis’ last year there and we, by the spring, Black Student Council and MAYA had written a proposal to take over a college which we had, [00:08:00] we wrote something the Lumumba-Zapata Demands in collaboration. There were no Chicano faculty but we adopted this Spaniard who was married to a Guatemalan woman rai-- and they grew up in, he 4 �was a Spanish émigré in Mexico, [Carlos Blanco?]. He became a, the MAYA faculty advisor and there was some Black chemist -JJ: Joe Watson. VV: [Joe Watson?]. I won’t editorialize. They’re both still alive. So we designed the takeover of one of the colleges within the University of California San Diego and we would engage in a, many years of struggle. Kind of fruitless, pointless, [00:09:00] a lot of protests, a lot of people’s careers were ruined. After five years of doing that and joining the Brown Berets so we were active on campus and in the communities and up and down the state. At one point, I was even spent the summer in San Antonio, Texas, as a volunteer for La Raza Unida Party. So I had, I maintained my contacts with my family in New Mexico and when the Brown Berets in ’73 did their Marcha de la Reconquista from California to Texas, I called up my father and I called up our cousin [Tiny?] who was speaker of the house in the state legislature. He had the New Mexico State Police meet the Brown Berets at Gallup and escort them all the way across the state so that nobody would mess with them. To protect them and find them a place in the middle of winter where they could crash [00:10:00] and get some food, some warm clothing. So it was a very proactive escort; It wasn’t like trying to control them or anything like that. One of old compadres, [Jeronimo Blanco?], has very fond memories of how, what Tiny did to help the Brown Berets. M2: How long did you stay in the Brown Berets and (overlapping dialogue; inaudible)? 5 �VV: Let’s see. I officially was in the Brown Berets from about early 19-- mid-1969 until I think it was mid-1971. Also before that, because of all the campus activity, I was also, we formed an organization called Católicos por La Raza where we seized Camp Oliver. There was a Chicano conference going on and they figured not [00:11:00] only do we have to rattle the cage of American society, we needed to rattle the cage of the Catholic church because they had been screwing over our people, too. So they called us in after a week so they said, “We need the hard-heads,” so a bunch of us Brown Berets went and occupied the campground for about a week or two before The Sisters of Mercy showed us no mercy and called the San Diego County sheriffs and had us all arrested. So that began a struggle which San Diego State has archives, films, with me sitting right next to the bishop, [Bishop Buddy?]. I didn’t remember any of those videotapes at all. But people in LA would pick up on that idea and two months later, the LA branch of Católicos por La Raza took over St. Basil’s church during midnight mass. And they completely disrupted [00:12:00] the Christmas services, it turned into a big, old riot, all kinds of people got arrested. (laughs) Priests got their bloody noses and ah, that was a -- I had nothing to do with that, though. M2: That’s recorded in The Revolt of the Cockroach People by Oscar Zeta Acosta. VV: Yeah. Because Zeta Acosta was a lawyer. JJ: Where was it recorded again? VV: Revolt of the Cockroach People written by Oscar Zeta Acosta. He was one of the few Chicano lawyers that they had up in LA. So he was at the [Biltmore 13?], [Los Tres de la Raza?]. Oscar Zeta Acosta was a -- 6 �JJ: Los Tres de la Raza, who are they? VV: They were in San Francisco at the time and they were, I think this one poster here mentions Los Tres, Free Los Tres de la Raza. They were some Latinos who were being persecuted [00:13:00] in the San Francisco area just like the Panthers and the Brown Berets. It’s hard to talk about those things. David Hilliard just spoke at my campus in Denver with his book, his latest book, about two months ago and he mentioned how the Panthers were really had a proactive, positive agenda to deal with the immediate social and economic needs of the community. Violence was the last thing on their mind. And in their 15-Point Program, I forget how many points there were, but point number eight calls for defense of the community. After establishing free public health, free housing, childcare for preschoolers, and all these other things which are now federal policies today. So the last thing they wanted was confrontation [00:14:00] but he mentioned in the first phase of the Black Panthers, over 50 Panthers were killed by police from the East Coast to the West Coast during the period of the ’60s and early ’70s. The Brown Berets, there were a number of Brown Berets. In Denver alone, we have the eight martyrs, Los Seis de Boulder. One of those was a Brown Beret and Ricardo Falcón was on his way to a Raza Unida conference. JJ: So what happened there? VV: That’s a long and involved but he was on his way from Denver to El Paso to attend the Raza Unida convention. And his car was overheating and he stopped at a gas station and some redneck cracker didn’t like these uppity Mexicans. You know, “Can I use water to cook off my radiator?” And, [00:15:00] “No, get out of 7 �here, you wetbacks.” So Ricardo Falcón walked into the, into this gas station. The guy pulled out a .357 Magnum and blew him away with no warning. He left a 17-year-old widow and a young, little child behind. Priscilla Falcón is still mad (laughs) 40 years later. So there were a lot of Chicano martyrs all over, too, and there were a lot of infiltrators. Here’s a picture of [Jesús Manny López?], an officer in the San Diego Police Department. JJ: Can you lift it up a little bit? VV: Yeah. That’s him right in the middle. This is August 29th, the San Diego Brown Berets in East Los Angeles. There he is holding up the flag of Aztlán. By this [00:16:00] point, our security had gone all to hell and most of the serious members had left the organization because we realized our sec-- that the FBI and the police had broken our security and we knew it was a matter of time. This guy alone ended up arresting 50 of our Brown Berets on felonies. Total setup through COINTELPRO, the Counter Intelligence Program operated by the FBI in conjunction with local police. This guy was a son of a, an SOB. I use him in class as a, as an example of what happens to real traitors because he would buy liquor and drunks and drive our teenage members around so that he could dig in and, “He’s a good guy.” Next thing you know, he’s loaning [Mike Nala?], the president of the Brown Berets, this guy right [00:17:00] here, he loans him a couple of hundred bucks. He loans him a couple of hundred bucks and the next thing, I show up to a meeting right before August 29th, and the police officer has the entire membership list. Me and [Izzy?] were telling each other as we walked in and told him our names and he checks off our name on the membership list. 8 �We said, “Didn’t we reject this guy? He didn’t pass security and now, he’s got the whole membership list.” So a lot of the more mature members just bailed out. August 29th was a mess. JJ: Why was it a mess? VV: It was a setup. I’ve talked to members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s. They set up a ambush for the Chicano Movement. On that one day, August 29th, two Brown Berets were killed. JJ: This was in what town? VV: In East Los Angeles. There was a Chicano Moratorium [00:18:00] against the Vietnam War and we had been have, staging local anti-war protests leading up to this big march in the East LA. So we had people from all over the Southwest, Texas, Colorado, and after a little incident where allegedly some people stole some beers, they called (inaudible) out. I think half the LA county sheriffs and half of the Los Angeles Police Department showed up in complete riot gear at the time and they just starting clubbing, tear-gassing everybody. By the time the day was over, two Brown Berets had been shot to death and Rubin Salazar was killed out on a, in a bar in Whittier Boulevard after a sheriff’s deputy fired a tear-gas cannister that was about that long into a [00:19:00] crowded bar, went up, banked off the ceiling, hit him in the head and took off half of Ruben Salazar’s head is the way it’s described in that documentary Chicano! We felt that the state had declared war on the Chicano Movement so you kill me, we kill you. East LA was under martial law. JJ: So this is the Brown Berets you’re saying this? 9 �VV: The entire Chicano Movement. JJ: Okay. VV: The way I put it in perspective, there were five million Mexican Americans in the United States legally according to the 1970 census. If it is true that 10 to 15 percent of all Mexican Americans identified as Chicano, then we had a small little group of about half a million Chicanos in the United States. Not all of them were die-hard Brown Berets or [00:20:00] militants committed to revolution or social change but some of them liked to dance in Aztec costumes, you know? What the hell. But when you get tear-gassed or your [jefita?] gets beat up by the cops, you get mad. So I think we could count on that and after East LA, we went back to our own home towns and we felt that the US government had declared war on us much like they had on the Puerto Ricans and the Black Panther Party and other groups and we wanted revenge. We were young and dumb and we overreacted and fell for their trap. It ended up where we became isolated. East Los Angeles was under martial law for the next six months and when Ruben Salazar, if you, we had about four major riots after August [00:21:00] 29th in East LA alone because Ruben Salazar’s funeral followed by September 16th, Mexican Independence Day, and the very last one was on January 31st, 1971. JJ: So you were involved, I mean you were -- VV: I was involved in all of them except the first one. JJ: I mean you were there, you were there. VV: I was there. JJ: Okay. 10 �VV: I was there. I was there. Because the Patriot Act, I’ll just admit that I was there. JJ: Okay, that’s cool. Okay. Now, the Chicano Moratorium. That was in East LA? Can you explain more about that? VV: Well, everybody was against the Vietnam War by that time. With Latinos, increasingly statistics were coming out that it was a poor man’s war. All the rich kids or [00:22:00] anybody with any money were getting deferments. All the chicken hocks. Did Romney go? No, Romney was on the beach writing big love-letter hearts on the beaches in France to his future wife. When if he was a real patriot and really supported the war against communism, he would’ve gone with other Americans and fought them in Vietnam or in other places. So increasingly, the people getting drafted into the military to fight Vietnam were lower class who had no other means. And a lot of Blacks, Indians, and Latinos. By 1970, it was estimated that 17 percent of all the deaths in Vietnam were Latino at a time when we were barely 6 percent of the entire population. Right now, the Supreme Court is ruling on whether or not we should [00:23:00] have affirmative action. They’re saying, “Oh, been there, done that. We’re postracial.” So we can’t get any benefits now that we’re much higher proportioned. Latinos are what, 14 percent of the population? Fourteen percent of everything this government doles out ought to go to the Latinos. But no, they want to get rid of affirmative action. But when it comes to war, we can die. In the first Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan, currently about 14 percent of the deaths are Latinos so that’s fair. We’re 14 percent of the population, we’re 14 percent of the deaths. The opposite was the case in America in the ’70s. In Colorado, for instance, 70 11 �percent of all the people locked up in state prison in Colorado were white. Thirty percent were Black, Latino, and Indian. [00:24:00] Today, 70 percent of all the convicts in the state prisons are Black, Latino, and Indian, and only 30 percent are white. We should have affirmative action. We should make it a fair, level playing field and if 25 percent, 20 percent of the population is Latino, only 20 percent of the convicts should be Latino. (laughs) I don’t know. I love to play these mind games since they throw the statistics at us all the time. JJ: Going back a little bit if we can go back a little bit and since this is a, more like an oral history, when did you start getting politicized? I mean, when did that begin and how did that begin? VV: Well, I think I already touched on that. I think I really got politicized when I had, during the summer of 1968 when I started going to the university. Because that exposed me to [00:25:00] a lot of professors from around the world not only Angela Davis and Izzy Chávez. Izzy Chávez was half Puerto Rican, half Mexican on his mother’s side so he was very progressive. Angela Davis was on the Central Committee of the Black Panther Party at the time. She was also on the Central Committee of the US Communist Party. She held both, she was on the Central Committee of both those organizations at the same time while she was a graduate student at the university. One of the other people who helped us draft that document, that Lumumba-Zapata Demands, named after Patrice Lumumba, the famous, the famous socialist liberator of the Belgian Congo. And Emiliano Zapata, the great progressive leader of the Mexican Revolution, they were our [00:26:00] role models, our icons. We thought if they could sacrifice 12 �their life for their people, we could do no less. But another person was a man named Keith Lowe who would later become, he was part of the Michael Manley administration from, what was that, the island in the Caribbean, Jamaica? He was a diplomat at one point but he was also, I think, a treasury minister in the Michael Manley administration. Another progressive, Leftist regime that helped over-- or was it Haiti? No, it was Jamaica. M2: Jamaica. VV: It was Jamaica. So he was one of the first victims because when he left after we wrote those demands, his passport was not removed and he was barred from coming back to the United [00:27:00] States. As we became more and more -as I became more and more involved, I started seeing that there was a lot of truth to the fact that the United States does not tolerate people who disagree with the mainstream, with what the president wants done. You speak out against the Vietnam War, you become an enemy of the state. People paid with their lives. When I think of the ’60s, there are some people from the ’60s and ’70s who are still in prison. A lot of my comrades that were shot to death and not a single police officer was ever charged with any crimes. Coming from California, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, the two California presidents, they shredded the US Constitution. Nixon was allowed to resign and [00:28:00] then pardoned by his successor. What Ronald Reagan did during the Iran Contra incident and his secret war killing half a million Mayan Indians in Central America, that was genocide. That was all legal, nobody’s ever accused them of being traitors to humanity or traitors to the constitution but we’re the ones who end up because 13 �we fought for equality, democracy, and freedom, we’re the bad guys. I mean, in the ’60s, they called us every name in the book. Terrorists, domestic terrorists, traitors. We thought we were the real patriots and they were the traitors. And it’s hard to see now in hindsight because a lot of these battles are still being waged. We now call it the culture war in American society. We weren’t, [00:29:00] and I tell my class the only reason I can look you in the eyes and talk about this to you is because I never killed anybody. I messed some people up but and I might’ve done some things that could get me in some serious trouble if I were to ever give names and dates, but Ronald Reagan was responsible for the death of half a million people. How many people did Richard Nixon kill? Americans and Vietnamese, millions. Those guys didn’t go to prison. Nobody killed them. Nobody labels them terrorists except us. We’re the lone voice in the desert calling it like we see it and we paid the price. A lot of people paid the ultimate price. In 1962, there was a -- in California, Ronald Reagan as a governor expelled 20,00 radical students alone. [00:30:00] Not to mention that it was almost like the McCarthy era coming back. Faculty members were fired, denied tenure. People like Arturo Madrid gets fired from UCSD and gets hired the following year at Dartmouth with full tenure. And he go -- pardon? M2: In Minnesota. VV: In Minnesota, was it? Okay. Well, but there were a lot of other people who were just as good who ended up languishing, who ended up at community colleges and their whole academic careers ruined. Or people who went stone crazy. They went mad and have still not recovered from the insanity. Some of them, 14 �and I don’t know. I don’t know what -- maybe I’m just stubborn or something but I ended up in the Marines and that caused a whole nother ball of wax but -JJ: So how did -- VV: -- I’m rambling. JJ: How did you end up there? I mean, what was your decision? VV: [00:31:00] My decision was nobody would, nobody in the Chicano Movement would hire me. I went to the Chicano Federation in San Diego after we had taken over Chicano Park. We had taken over the big neighborhood house which is now the Laura Rodriguez Chicano Community Clinic. At Chicano Park, they wanted to build a California highway patrol substation. There were no parks, there were no clinics, there was nothing for our community. All they did was keep dividing us building freeways, throwing in junk yards. JJ: So a group of people got together? VV: So the Brown Berets and MEChA students led those takeovers. I still remember this is about the time when I left the Brown Berets because there, all discipline had gone to hell and we were occupying and surrounded by the San Diego Police Department 724 while [00:32:00] we were inside this building occupying it. At one point, Alpha 66, a Right-wing, Cuban terrorist organization, many of them had been fugitives from the Bay of Pigs invasion, had been allowed by the police department to try and burn us out. They went to the back of the building and Molotov cocktails on the handball courts, the wooden handball courts, and the building started to go up. The police didn’t call the Fire Department; They were actually out in front laughing thinking that the smoke or the fire would force us 15 �out. But it didn’t. We threw water on it and put it out ourselves. But we were armed, they were armed. JJ: How did you know it was Alpha 66? VV: Well, we saw them and we recognized them from other demonstrations because they were constantly following us. Whenever we had public, [00:33:00] whenever we showed up to join with the United Farm Workers’ pickets, we would have these counter protestors out there. And especially after 1975 when the Vietnam War ended, they added all these Right-wing Vietnamese to the ranks of the, of Alpha 66. JJ: So they were -- VV: They were stone, John Birchers, neo-Nazis -- JJ: They were doing counter- -- VV: Cuban -- JJ: -- demonstrations? VV: Yeah, and they were trying to pick fights with us to provoke violence. They were with the support of the US government, they were being allowed to attack people. JJ: How do you know they were being supported by the US government? VV: Well, some of this came out in San Diego with the, we were doing, what was the name of that organization? We were doing counseling with the Marines up at Camp Pendleton and at one point, [00:34:00] a professor from San Diego State had his house shot up and [Paula Tharp?] who was the daughter of a San Diego judge and she was a student, a very good friend of mine from UCSC, got hit, permanently paralyzed from a bullet that hit her in the elbow. And the ensuing 16 �investigation and criminal charge, trial that occurred since her father was the liberal judge in town, he made sure that justice was pursued and these people were identified and it was discovered that they were secretly receiving FBI infor-intelligence where this [professor Bomer?] lived. He was a professor from San Diego State. And we were, every time we organized 5-- 10,000 people to go up to Oceanside and protest the Vietnam [00:35:00] War outside the gates of Camp Pendelton, they would release all these Marines and we’d end up in the frigging riot, fistfights that would last for hours. The cops wouldn’t beat up the Marines. They’d go in there and bust the protestors’ heads and haul them off to jail. So there was a lot of collusion that was coming out in court testimony proving that the FBI and we had actually, I’ve read some of the declassified counterintelligence, the COINTELPO documents, and they’re actually kind of silly. We were a little paranoid and we had a lot of suspicions but we didn’t realize how silly some of their psychological operations could be. There was this one document I read where they were messing with this guy who wrote for the San Diego [00:36:00] Street Journal. And one of the editors for this newspaper was being psychologically harassed by the FBI. I read this one document that if we put this little plastic thing together with little wires and throw it on the sidewalk in front of their building down in Shelltown, that he’s ready to go completely bonkers and go insane if he has any concrete evidence that we’re spying on them. So they did this, they fabricated like the handle of a toy gun and had wires in it like it was some kind of secret radio recording device and left it there in the hopes that it would drive this guy insane. Or they mention Angela Davis and 17 �Barry Schwartz and [Delmar?] [00:36:49]. They weren’t lovers, but they were living in the same house, different parts of the house [00:37:00] and they were mentioning they were... If they found any of the student radicals who were cohabitating and unmarried, they would send, the FBI sent letters to their parents. “Do you know what your children are doing? They’re having free love and they’re at the university. They joined SDS and they listen to all these radicals like Marcuse.” Stupid stuff. Today, kids today would laugh if you sent a note home to their parents. They’d brag. “Yeah, I’m living in sin.” But in those days, they thought that would have an impact and that the parents would draw their kids out of it. Or that they could arrest Barry Schwartz and Angela Davis for violating some sexual, sex laws. An unmarried couple in the same house under the assumption that there’s sex going on, too, and there wasn’t any. [00:38:00] I spent a few nights there so they were just friends. So I don’t know where any of this is leading. Is this the kind of information you wanted to gather? JJ: Yes, it is. VV: It leads to how I got involved and some of the stuff I saw as well as why I started to leave. Because by this time, like this police officer, I showed you his picture? He arrested over 50 San Diego Brown Berets on felonies. And [Alorista?] [00:38:32], in fact, told me at one point that he had personally had a conversation with Manny Jesús López, Sergeant López. He said, and he asked him, “Why’d you arrest all these people?” He said, “Well, I didn’t arrest everybody. I never arrested Vince.” And Alorista asked him, “Well, why didn’t you ever [00:39:00] go after Vince Sidi Vaca?” He said, “I kind of had respect for him.” That’s such 18 �bullshit I, because I hated that guy’s guts. Every time I saw him after he, after we outed him and I remember a bunch of protests. If I could find a hiding spot behind a hedge while we were having a picket line for the farm workers, I’d grab a handful of gravel or little, bitty rocks and I’d toss them over the hedge at him and the other cops so that he knew that was -- after a few months of that, he knew that was my psychological operation. So that was my calling card that I knew he was there and he was a punk. It ended up where years later when he didn’t get hired by the FBI or promoted to lieutenant in the local police, he quit and became chief of security at the Del Mar fairgrounds. He also hired himself out as [00:40:00] the mayor. What was that woman’s name? She was a pseudoliberal, she married a food maker, Oscar’s, which is now Jack in the Box. She married that rich guy. She had an Irish name. Her sister was in the history department at UCSC. She became mayor of San Diego. She just admitted a big gambling problem. She’s all over the news in San Diego recently. JJ: This is where you grew up. VV: In San Diego. JJ: Okay. VV: So he would be her bodyguard any time she traveled to Tijuana or Mexico so in my files, I’ve got pictures of her right, of him right next to him. Eventually, though, his son grew up and became a meth, addicted to methamphetamines, and so one day, he had the Jones [00:41:00] on and he had the shakes. He goes and visits his mother’s father, his maternal grandfather, and demands that he give him some money. His grandfather was in the garage working on his car and he said, 19 �“Hell, no, I’m not giving you any money for, to support your drug habit.” [Nacho’s?] [00:41:17] son went and got a ball-peen hammer and killed his grandfather. Hit him about 20 times, crushed his skull, killed his own grandfather over drug money. When this hit the news, they had an all-points bulletin shoot on site, Nacho went and found his son, he protected his son for a week, and got his son to turn himself in so that the police wouldn’t shoot him to death. When it was all said and done, his son pleaded guilty to homicide [00:42:00] and was sentenced to 10 years in state prison. You’re nodding your head. I think a 10year sentence for murder is a very light sentence is what I’d say. He should’ve be shot to death. But to me, that’s a very strong object lesson. You betray your own people and use weed and alcohol to do it, then what comes around goes around. It happened to him and it, his wife divorced him. It destroyed his family, his self-esteem. Now he’s some gumshoe. He’s a private detective that nobody hires and he’s a joke. There’s only one formal city councilman who even invites him to his parties. That one guy who was a friend of my mother’s who got thrown off the city council for taking bribes. So San Diego’s a microcosm [00:43:00] of places like Chicago. Corruption makes cities go ’round but we point across the border at Mexico at the drug cartels and the corruption in other countries and I just tell my students in my Mexican History classes, “Don’t spit in the wind.” JJ: Now, you’re, you were well-known in San Diego. You mentioned that [Orista?] [00:43:20]. Was he well-known or was he...? VV: When I joined the Brown Berets, I joined the second generation. Alorista and Izzy Chávez and what is it, Arturo Serrano, and there were a number of other 20 �Chicanos who were older than me who founded the Brown Berets in San Diego the first generation around 1967. By 1969, they had gone their own way. Many of them were tecatos, [00:44:00] ex-cons, and from the inner city. A few of them were Juan Gómez-Quiñones was a member and so was Alorista. So they were among some of the more developed intellectuals. Gómez-Quiñones was a professor at San Diego State before he went onto UCLA to where he’s still teaching. I think he’s emeritus but he’s still teaching classes 40 years later at UCLA. So that whole apparatus kind of fell apart and it needed to be rebuilt so Izzy Chávez started recruiting a second generation and he got a bunch of us that were undergraduates from UCSD and from some other, a bunch of people from the METChAs, because by March of ’69, METChA had replayed MAYA on [00:45:00] college campuses and we started getting a lot of returning Vietnam veterans as well as barrio youth. So at one point before August 29th, 1970, that was kind of the high point of the Brown Berets. After August 29th, it was all downhill from there and for the whole Chicano Movement. Because we had been diverted into a war we couldn’t win and we ended up, all our dreams were frustrated. We ended up spending most of our time at funerals or raising money for, to defend political prisoners. So that really sapped a lot of our energy and we were -JJ: So a war that you couldn’t win. VV: A war we couldn’t win. I still remember by that time after -- JJ: And how were you (inaudible)? 21 �VV: Well, because the police were attacking and killing and [00:46:00] shooting us. I remember specifically on January 31st, 1971, the last protest in East Los Angeles. We had about 20,000 people running from what is now Ruben Salazar Park down 3rd Street down to Whittier Boulevard where most of the rioting and burning and fighting with the police officers occurred. They knew our tactics by then. At every intersection, every block, a phalanx of police would run across the street and break us into block-long group, block-long groups that were more easy to control. I still remember this one woman coming out of her house on 3rd Street. Because I was young and fast, I was way up in the front running my butt off. And I’m [00:47:00] looking around and seeing what the cops are ding because they had fresh tactics of dividing us up and sapping our strength. This woman came out of her house and yelled at us. She said, “Why are you destroying your own community? This is my neighborhood. Get out of my neighborhood! You guys keep having these riots and who gets hurt? We get hurt. You’ve burned down Whittier Boulevard. You’re burning down our economic livelihood.” I wasn’t just a crazy, wild anarchist. I tried to listen to reason and other people but it was very hard at that point because I figured we’re at war. We’re at war, forget any kind of rationality, anything we can do to survive. In love [00:48:00] and war, all things are fair was the prevailing logic in 1970, ’71. JJ: So everyone thought that they were at war, love and war? VV: Yes. JJ: Or love or war? I mean -- 22 �VV: Well, I mean, if you remember the ’60s, it was a fine line. There was the music, the rock’n roll culture of the day. “Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice,” was the refrain of a song. Four dead in Ohio, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. A lot of the rock’n roll bands were almost a part of the cultural vanguard of this upswell that was sweeping across all of America. In the Chicano community, we had our own bands. We had Chicano, we had Malo, we had Santana which were at least culturally uplifting if not overtly political. But this is also the era [00:49:00] where many of us were being infused with salsa, with Will Colón and Rubén Blades. Which were blatantly political in their music that was filtering and the salsa from the Boricua. Mixing with everything coming up from South America, too. I mean, so a lot of us felt hey, what do we got nothing to lose? We got nothing to lose but our chains. I wonder, I think we accomplished something in the end but I think we paid too heavy a price because we alienated our own community. We were only 10 percent of five million people and we turned our own people against us at a time when the FBI was after us, too. I strongly became paranoid and felt like most of the time, [00:50:00] we had our backs in a corner. And the infiltrators they were sending out after us were all Latinos. So we were losing the moral high ground and I mean, thinking with a military mind strategy tactics to achieve a goal, the goal being the liberation of our people or at least gaining freedom, justice, and equality within the system. Whatever was possible. We were that vanguard was willing to try and achieve that at any price, by any means necessary to quote brother Malcom. But we failed to learn the lessons of Che. I can quote Mao, Che, Frantz Fanon, all these Pedagogy of the Oppressed from 23 �Freire and the literature. That’s probably what got me to probably take [00:51:00] revolution more seriously and study revolutionary theory in many different groups. Whoever was offering those kind of classes which weren’t being offered at the university officially. So and even when I went in the Marines, I did that because nobody else would hire me; I’d been expelled for the third time. I’d go around to community organizations that I’d help build. I said, “Look, I’ll clean your toilets, I’ll mop your floors.” “No, we ain’t got any money.” I thought I was too good to go and work at McDonald’s so I thought, “I’m a hero. I’ll go join the Marines.” I almost got my own butt blown off in there. Then all my former friends or many of the people I used to work with started questioning my sanity or my loyalty. I mean, everybody was so paranoid, everybody was saying everybody was an infiltrator [00:52:00] working for the pigs, working for the FBI. So in that whole environment, even though many of the Berets had been Vietnam veterans themselves. See, I did the reverse of what they did and even people like [Edmundo Rees?] [00:52:16] was telling me, “Don’t go in.” He had just got out of the Green Berets and he said, “The last place you want to do, go is to go into the military now.” Vietnam was still on. It was winding down but it was still on. But I figured, “Hell, I’ll go in there, I’ll get paid. I can organize inside and I’ll get GI Bill.” I did all three of those. As far as I’m concerned, Reagan, Nixon called me a traitor to America. When I went in [00:53:00] the Marines, I had a lot of my former comrades calling me traitor, infiltrator. It would take me a long time to sort -JJ: Comments of the Brown Berets you mean or...? 24 �VV: Brown Berets, Black Panthers, Venceremos Brigade, you name it. Out on the West Coast. JJ: So you were a traitor because you had joined the Marines or...? VV: Yeah, I was serving the US government now all of a sudden in their minds. JJ: But you saw it how? How did you see it? VV: I saw it differently. That the Russian Revolution succeeded because the Russian army mutinied against the czar. That was the real turning point in the Russian Revolution. I thought I could do something in there because there had been a very active anti-war movement within the military. Throughout the Vietnam war but particularly after ’68. When I went in there in the Marines, there was a Black and Brown coalition [00:54:00] going on in there with Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and Blacks. I was shocked to see how many Brown Berets there were in the Marines just like me at the time. So I mean, there was one incident, there was sabotage going on in the Navy where there were, the Klan was active in the Marines. There was an incident at Camp Pendleton where Black nationalists had discovered or sympathizers of the Black Panther Party had found out where and when these Klan members were going to meet. They broke in there and beat the hell out of the Klan. They attacked the Klan and beat them up. And the court martials that followed all the Blacks were given dishonorable discharges and kicked out of the military. The Klan were the victims so they were sent to other duty stations to spread their racist hate. So there was a whole nother side to the struggle [00:55:00] to the civil rights, to the anti-war struggle going on within the military. Fragging, desertions, there were half a million people in prison for 25 �desertion during the Vietnam War. We lost that war because of the politicians and because a majority of the American people had turned against the war and the servicemen didn’t want to fight and die. So I saw an opportunity there to -and I did end up getting ultimately a master’s degree with the GI Bill I earned. I made sure I didn’t go to Vietnam. See? JJ: (overlapping dialogue; inaudible) -- VV: Yeah, let’s wrap it up, man. You got to go, ten o’clock, see? I can talk forever. JJ: Final thoughts and then we’ll wrap it up. VV: Okay. JJ: (laughs) How do you want to close? What did we -- VV: What do I want to say? What do I...? [00:56:00] I don’t care who calls me -- I’ve been called a national treasure, I’ve been called a traitor. I don’t give a damn what anybody calls me because I know who I am and I know what I stand for. So I don’t need anybody else’s approval for what I do. I have confidence that I’m on the right path. I trust myself even if some people like Mario Barrera do not. JJ: All done. All right, thank you. Thanks. VV: Sure.
