Looking Back at the Week: June 28-July 4
Compiled by Brent E. Beltrán
This week’s edition of Looking Back at the Week features articles, commentaries, columns, toons and other work by San Diego Free Press regulars, irregulars, columnists, at-large contributors, and sourced writers on: Hateville USA one year later, anti-Vaxxers failing, La Migra hanging with haters, Barrio Logan doing it for themselves again, Ernie getting poetical at a meeting, Mauna Kea protected (for now), marriage equality, occupying the Neighborhood House and the rise of the Chicano Free Clinic, Cali workers now getting paid sick leave, trending student loan defaults, CV’s rising politico Jason Paguio, and lots of other grassroots news & progressive views.
SDFP would like to give special props to SDFP’s Maria E. García on finishing the weekly series, The History of the Neighborhood House in Logan Heights. She has done a great service by documenting an important part of San Diego’s 20th century Chicano history. We look forward to her writing monthly on other historical topics related to SD’s Chicano community.
