To create this print, García relied on a historical photograph of Emma Tenayuca. In their work, Chicano artists frequently resurrect earlier radical figures to reveal precursors to Chicano activism. This 1977 poster promotes one of the earliest convenings of the National Caucus of Chicano Social Scientists, later known as the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies. Formed in 1972, the organization remains dedicated to supporting and disseminating Chicanx scholarship. |
