Highlighted by a keynote address by Richard “Cheech” Marin, the 2022 LEAD Summit showcased stories, accomplishments and sacrifices made by the Latino community over the last 50 years while calling on the younger generation to continue the work.
Rosalio Muñoz’s talk is part of this year’s theme for the LEAD Summit revisiting and commemorating social movements from the last 50 years, including the birth of Chicano-ethnic studies, the school walkouts/blowouts, bilingual education and the Chicano Moratorium.
The LEAD Summit XI and its related events have been postponed to September and will become part of the CSUSB Hispanic Heritage Month series of events.
The nine events of LEAD 2020 are expected to welcome more than 3,500 attendees (in-person) to the CSUSB campus, with thousands more online via Town Hall viewing sites around the world.
Cheech Marin, the honorary chair/padrino de honor, is the morning featured speaker, and Rosalío Muñoz, chiefly remembered as the co-chair of the Chicano Moratorium Committee, will speak in the afternoon. The summit will take place on March 26.
