HAYWARD-Join a series of community conversations about how Hayward histories shape our lives today. Each conversation will feature individuals who made history through sustained local action and community work.
Community Panel: Country Press and Barrio Expressions: Young People Build Community and Identity in the Bay Area, 1970-1985. 1970s Hayward saw a flourishing of youth movements to end injustices and create caring communities through understanding. The Country Press Collective and Barrio Expressions, original to Hayward, reveal the lives and interests of diverse groups, including LGBTQ and Chicano/a youth, on their own terms and in their own spaces. The Country Press and Barrio Expressions created belonging through culture and political action. They make visible the ways Hayward’s young people cared for each other and gave voice to their ideas and identities.
