About La Cucaracha
La Cucaracha was a Chicano newspaper published in Pueblo, Colorado. It was started by Juan and Deborah Espinosa, David Martinez and Pablo Mora. The founders were students and activists at the University of Colorado Boulder during the Chicano Movement (early 1970s). The Chicano Movement in Colorado represents the fight for equal rights by people of Mexican descent in the United States. Juan, David and Pablo worked together on the El Diario de al Gente newspaper during their time at the university. After leaving CU Boulder, they started publishing La Cucaracha in May of 1976 and stopped publication in November, 1983. Topics covered include: Police brutality, education, land rights, healthcare, local and national news.
