To mark the 51st anniversary of the 1968 Walkouts, Roosevelt High School will be hosting a 1968 Walkout photo collection exhibit. The framed photographs were taken during the 1968 Walkouts and are part of a 10-year loan to the Roosevelt campus – a partnership orchestrated by CSRC assistant director emeritus Carlos M. Haro. The exhibition opening and 10-year partnership is an attempt to honor the life and legacy of the leaders who walked out for justice.
