Born March 3, 1928, Ruben Salazar was the first Mexican American columinst of the Los Angeles Times. Salazar devoted his career to bringing Chicano issues to mainstream media. He became a leading figure in the success of the Chicano movement in the '60s, as the only one to shed light on the problems while other media outlets refused. To this day, Ruben Salazar's words have helped alter perspectives on the Chicano and Latinx community and have brought positive attention to east Los Angeles communities.
