"There's only one Ricky One Ricky Hatton!" Todays ThursDIAZ was about the British boxers and their loyal followers. 

Old friend Gustavo Arellano stops by to talk about the LA Times huge feature that was published. 

On Aug. 29, 1970, more than 20,000 demonstrators marched through East Los Angeles for the National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War. But the protest for peace devolved into conflict between demonstrators and sheriff’s deputies. By day’s end, hundreds were arrested and trailblazing Latino journalist Ruben Salazar was dead.

The events and emotions of that chaotic day still reverberate in L.A.’s Latino community 50 years later.
