Fresno La Causa Honor Roll Spotlighting the legacy of the Chicano student movement, Brown Berets and farmworker unionization As a Brown Beret his unit supported the students.

2-5-23
Catarino was a founding member of Universidad de Aztlan, he was a proponent of Chicano Studies, he started the 1st alternative high school in Fresno for Chicanos (Millbrook) and he was a high school counselor at the time of his death. It is with this legacy that we go forward profiling student achievement and teach about La Causa. The Fresno Brown Berets were originally started in 1968 by Catarino "Cat" Hurtado, who created many community institutions to address Chicano education and power. He was also the leader of Fresno La Raza Unida party. After the brown berets disbanded in 1973, Catarino started networking with activists throughout Aztlan, Centro America and beyond. He became a cuadandero and worked as a high school counselor. He passed away in 2/1977 after a car accident. Some believe his car was sabotaged by the FBI, who had history of trying to entrap him and also because of the high power alliances he was making. He was seen as a threat to the status quo. In 1994, prior to passage of Propostion 187, the Brown Berets were reactivated in Fresno County. The Fresno unit organized several conferences and marches to address the issue of Chicano killing Chicano. The unit stopped organizing in mid 2000 but recommissioned in February 2011 to again address the need for Barrio Peace and Chicano/a empowerment.
