Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas was the epicenter of a historic school walkout during the Chicano movement. In 1970, the firing of one beloved Mexican-American teacher set off a fire in the Mexican community of Uvalde and they were ready to stand for their rights. This is the story of the school walkouts.
