The Latin Lords / Media Destruction of Political Effort
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. An insightful look at how the media portrayed the Latin Lords -- a radical, socio-politically involved group (active during the 60's and 70's) that can be compared in many respects to the better-known Black Panthers. The author argues that the media over-exaggerated and made them out to be 'irresponsible hoods' -- so as to destroy public trust in the Lords and unfairly make them out to be a band of street "hoods" and not activists they actually were. Detail is given as to the sociological "bonding" experiences of Latin Lords. Bibliography lists approximately 20 sources.
