In 1982, KPFA Producer Richard Gonzalez assembled three diverse panel members to discuss the historical, emotional and legal issues raised by immigration reform: Joaquin Avila, then-President and Lead Counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund; Elizabeth Martinez, a Chicana feminist best known for work, “500 years of Chicano History in Pictures;” and Ignacio de la Fuente of the International Molders and Allied Workers Union, Local 164. The panel was moderated by Armando Valdez, the Director of the Center for Chicano Research at Stanford University.
