BOULDER, Colo. — Six students at the University of Colorado Boulder are receiving the first round of a new scholarship honoring the lives of activists who died 50 years ago.
“It was a big fear to come onto this campus, because there was no one that looked like me,” Chavez said. “It was definitely a culture shock.” “They were trying to do something for their culture,” Chavez said. “It was very powerful for them to use their voice.”Each recipient will be paired up with one of Los Seis: aspiring teacher Neva Romero, CU Boulder graduate Una Jaakola, lawyer Reyes Martinez, poet Heriberto Teran, aspiring doctor Francisco Dougherty and activist Florencio “Freddy” Granado.
"I want to help immigrants, and I don't want them to feel that fear I did when I was little,” she said. “All the immigrants out there that want to continue their education, research, research, research. It's out there, there are opportunities everywhere." Los Seis and other student activists on the CU Boulder campus in the 1960s and 1970s were fighting for financial aid and parity. They wanted the number of Mexican Americans living in Colorado to be reflected in the number of students at the university. But disparities still exist today.
