Gilberto Martinez was an active supporter of establishing a new political party in Crystal City, Texas, the “Spinach Capital.” In a town where Chicanos were the majority, an alternate party, La Raza Unida, gained force quickly in the late 1960’s and took control of town and school government in the early 1970’s. This series contains documents, reports, news clippings and photographs, most of which pertain to the story of La Raza Unida in Crystal City, and the party’s expansion to other areas of the U.S. It also contains Martinez research and reports on assisting community organizations in Texas and elsewhere in acquiring free cable, radio, and television broadcast time and the requirements for establishing a television and audio production facility.
