¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Rubén Salazar!
Born March 3, 1928. Died August 29, 1970.
He was a Mexican-American journalist who became famous covering the Chicano community when he worked as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times.
He was killed by a tear gas round fired by a deputy of the Los Angeles County Sheriffs during the National Chicano Moratorium March against the Vietnam War in East Los Angeles. Of course, he was not the first American journalist killed in the line of duty. Unfortunately, he was not the last.
