Paula Crisostomo : It's like the Montgomery bus boycott!

Students, both in Parkland and nationally, are speaking out—on Twitter, in town hall meetings, at rallies—for stricter gun control laws.They did much of their mobilizing online. On March 6, 1968, a new round of walkouts began in earnest, and by the end of that week the protest had spread across the city: more than 15,000 students in Los Angeles had marched out of their classrooms.Paula Crisostomo was a 17-year-old high school student at the time, and one of the walkout’s organizers.

But some of the principals called in the LAPD for what they called crowd control.

The organizers of the walkout movement realized their protest had new life.

But activism didn’t begin with the internet, and the current movement echoes a series of school walkouts in East Los Angeles 50 years ago. Paula's father urges against her plan of "walking out."

We were also guided and mentored by one teacher, I had the privilege of having Sal Castro as a teacher, and he was an out-of-the-box sort of guy, especially for those times. And that included meeting with parents, and community people, and members of our school board, but no one listened to us. While what they’re doing is awesome, by standing up when grownups would not, I just, again, have to wonder why when people of color, when our movements stand up, we’re vilified for it.It was a long process, because some of them did need some laws changed. We had to build a movement by raising consciousness and awareness with not only our peers, but the community: educating everyone about the conditions of our schools and racist treatment.

We had a list of demands and had started by going through the protocol to get our grievances heard and met.

When the students walk out again their families come to support them and it appears that they have won because the school board agrees to hear their complaints.

When Paula goes to Sal for advice she discovers that Robert (who is an undercover A month after the film first aired, 2,500 Colorado students initiated a walkout of Katie Kerwin McCrimmon, "HBO movie served as inspiration",
So when the parents and community saw that—and again, it was a peaceful protest, we were not violent but we were met with violence—when the parents heard about or saw that, they knew that it was more serious than they had imagined.And a lot of them felt guilty, because the walkout was not our first step: It was our absolute last. They are punished for speaking Spanish in school, their bathrooms are locked during lunch, they are forced to do janitorial work as a punishment and many in the high school administrations actively dissuade the less promising students from attending college. High school student Paula Crisostomo (played by Alexa Vega), is tired of being treated unequally. Fifty years ago, 17-year-old Paula Crisostomo helped organize a multi-school walkout that galvanized the Mexican-American community in Los Angeles.Students at Eagle Rock High School in Northeast Los Angeles take part in the walkout for gun controlStudents at Eagle Rock High School in Northeast Los Angeles take part in the walkout for gun control We were, of course, in a lower-income working class community; the school he took us to was higher-income and predominately white. He was mostly concerned about my safety, and he thought I would not be able to graduate because of it. You’re not going to go to college, you and your girlfriends are going to be pregnant by the end of the summer. One time, Mr. Castro took us for a 15-20 minute ride down the freeway to another school. I know that caused a huge friction in their relationship, and it did affect the relationship I had with my father. More then half of 20,000 students attended the walkout. But we started feeling like “wait a minute, this isn’t right.”I’m very proud that they’ve chosen the strategy of walkouts, because we certainly proved that it helped us. Fifty years ago, 17-year-old Paula Crisostomo helped organize a multi-school walkout that galvanized the Mexican-American community in Los Angeles. When you hear this over and over again, you internalize it, it became normal. The original plan—to threaten the walkout after presenting a list of demands to the school board—was conceived in 1967 but never came to fruition. And with no Mexican-Americans on the district’s Board of Supervisors, the families of L.A.’s East side felt they had no advocates.Knowing that their public schools would lose money for each student not attending class, the organizers decided to plan a walkout. That entailed lots of meetings [and] free community newspapers we wrote for. There were about 15 other [schools] across the city that walked out also in our support, and that was part of the meetings and face-to-face educating and raising awareness.Not at the time.

He, very loudly, because he wanted the rest of the class to hear it, said, “Oh Paula, why are you wasting your time? They also serve as a clear demand. Because we weren’t getting any support, and because things moved so slowly—especially when you’re 17 you want things to happen overnight—I  didn’t feel really empowered, that took a little while: Maybe when I started receiving accolades about my so-called bravery, and when I started to see some specific school site changes. We received the same sort of racist treatment by everyone else.

With Alexa PenaVega, Michael Peña, Yancey Arias, Laura Harring. Directed by Edward James Olmos.
Walkout (2006 TV Movie) Alexa PenaVega: Paula Crisostomo. We had to get a special hall pass: We had to respect them. That was one of the threats, early on, but that became one of our first demands: that any student who participated would not be punished. The police find out and the principal threatens to expel Paula if she walks out. I felt like I didn’t have any other choice.I had a geometry teacher—we were supposed to be working quietly at our desks, and I got up to ask him a question. Paula invites Robert to prom, but while she is getting ready, the police suddenly arrest 12 of the leaders of the student movement.
