Building Chicano Park Against Erasure | San Diego News
Description
In the face of redlining, pollution, and systemic neglect, Logan Heights turned defiance into triumph—building their own park when the city refused to serve them. Once called “Little Mississippi” for its deep segregation, San Diego’s communities of color fought back with unity, as Black Panthers and Brown Berets forged powerful alliances that still defend Chicano Park today. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a living legacy of collaboration, resilience, and the ongoing fight to claim space, preserve history, and build a future where every voice matters.
