September 19, 2017

Land grant activist Reies Lopez Tijerina raided the Rio Arriba County Courthouse in Tierra Amarilla to free members of his alliance and make a citizen’s arrest of the district attorney. Reies Lopez Tijerina (September 21, 1926 – January 19, 2015) led a struggle in the 1960s and 1970s to restore New Mexican land grants to the descendants of their Spanish colonial and Mexican owners. As a vocal spokesman for the rights of Hispanics and Mexican Americans, he became a major figure of the early Chicano Movement (although he preferred "Indohispano" as a name for his people).
