Chapter 4. La Cucaracha Newspaper
The newspaper known as La Cucaracha was a Chicano newspaper published in Pueblo, Colorado. La Cucaracha was published from May 1976 to September 1983. The paper was started by University of Colorado-Boulder students Juan Espinosa, Deborah Espinosa, and David Martinez. Juan "Freddie Freak" Trujillo soon got involved with the newspaper. Trujillo was a lithographer by trade so he had no clue how to write news articles for the paper but knew how to lay out the paper and print it. With his help the paper was able to cover topics on police brutality, education, healthcare, local, and international news.
