The Occupation of Temporary Building 1
University of Colorado campus ended in tragedy when six people were killed in two different explosions in late May of 1974. Killed in the first explosion was Neva Romero, Una Jaakola, and Reyes Martinez. The second explosion two days later killed Florencio Granados, Heriberto Teran, and Francisco Dougherty. Only one person survived, but was seriously maimed. Five of the people killed had been students at CU Boulder. All had ties to UMAS. The Boulder bombings and the deaths that resulted from them marked a climatic point in the Chicano movement in Colorado.
