The Chicanx Latinx Student Center (CLSC) was established at Washington State University in the early 1970s with a mission to promote self-determination for Chicanx and Latinx students at the university. The center was established following student protests in 1970 that drew attention to racial inequities and the need for specialized services to attract and support Latinx students.
The CLSC frequently collaborates with student groups including the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/a de Aztlan (MEChA) as well as Mujeres Unidas, CAMARADAS, and the Chicana/o Latina/o Student Alliance (ChiLaStAl).
Contains primarily photos and slides of activities and events held by the Chicanx Latinx Student Center from ca. 1971-2008. Photos included also detail identified members of the Student Center, specific events such as a visit from Donny Valdez in 1983.
This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.
Photos are separated into clearly labeled subject folders that are also roughly dated.
This collection is open and available for research use.
