Pete Ochoa

Pete Ochoa has been performing his recital of the Mexican-American poem, I Am Joaquin, for over 35 years. He tells the story of how he came to fall in love with an important piece of Chicano history and how he is doing his part to preserve and spread awareness of its existance and importance.

I Am Joaquin was written by Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzalez.

The DVD version of this story is available for checkout and is in the permanent archives at the Sacramento Public Library.

This story is made possible by a grant from the California State Library and is a part of the Digital Story Station project.
