#diadelachola #ocotber13 #sleeplagoontrials #zootsuitriots Join us as we campaign with @lacholaconference and their nonprofit IxChel to reclaim Ocotber 13th as Dia De La Chola... During the early pachuca zootsuit era a case known as the Sleep Lagoon trial incarcerated Chicano barrio youth... though it was a murder trial, what led up to it was a media spectacle meant to demonize our culture... because the homegirls of those being tried refused to testify against their male counterparts, they were remanded to all girl institutions and became wards of the state, even after an appeal released all the men of this case... we as the daughters/sisters/cholitas... hold on to this legacy of brave women... we retell their stories and in honor, wear their style <3 pachuca, homegirls or whatever we call ourselves :) please join us by posting a pachuca style selfie... those who aren't of this origin, we ask that you participate by dressing up as your own peoples style of the 40s era <3 Hashtag #diadelachola and tagg us, we would love to share your pictures on our media <3 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFc4rSbHWEr/?igshid=1clh4tsemshod
