IN MEMORIUM: Democracy Now has released a profile on the 40th anniversary of Rubén Salazar’s death. The video, on democracynow.org, includes footage of Salazar’s final TV interview and features discussion with L.A. Times reporter Robert López, University of Southern California professor Félix Gutiérrez and Rodolfo Acuña.
After trying for years to obtain files on the Salazar case, López may be one step closer. In an Aug. 19 article, he reported that the Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has agreed to turn over “thousands of pages on the slaying” to the civilian watchdog agency that monitors the sheriff’s department so a report can be prepared.
