Chicano conference programs and speeches, 1975

1975-04-20 Keynote Address: Chicanos and Education - Salvador Ramirez Page 15

SCRAMBLED EGGS…..THIS INDICATES AND REFUTES THE NOTION THAT THE FUTURE, WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE RULES OF THE PAST.
IT IS MY OBSERVATION THAT OVER THE YEARS LA RAZA HAS BEEN EVOLVING AWAY FROM THE PAST AND INTO THE FUTURE.  UNFORTUNATELY, LA RAZA HAS NOT TRULY AND HONESTLY PARTICIPATED IN THIS COUNTRY’S HISTORICAL PROCESS AS THINKERS…..WE HAVE BEEN A LIVING ORGANISM SYSTEMATICALLY CONTROLLED AND PROGRAMMED PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY EVER IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING SOME OLDER CHARACTERISTICS ELIMINATED AND NEW ONES DEVELOPED. THERE IS NOTHING RIGID ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY DURING PERIODS OF VAST TECHNOLOGICAL, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND EDUCATIONAL CHANGE.
WHAT THE TELEPHONE, THE AUTOMOBILE, THE AIRPLANE, UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE, RADIO, TELEVISION, INSTALLMENT FINANCE, MEDICAL ADVANCES, TWO WORLD WARS, KOREA, VIETNAM, AND NOW THE SPIRIT OF THE CHICANO MOVEMENT HAS DONE TO THE AMERICAN SOCIETY IS REFLECTED IN THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ORDER.    
FOR ONE THING, THIS GREAT SPIRIT OF THIS CHICANO MOVEMENT HAS TOUCHED MANY PEOPLE AND MANY MORE ARE YET TO BE TOUCHED…..AND, THE OBSERVABLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE “TOUCHED” AND THOSE “UNTOUCHED” ARE NOW PROVIDING THE UNBIASED, SOCIAL SCIENTIST WITH THE CORE DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WHAT A CHICANO IS AND WHAT A CHICAVACHO IS.
