Description: Teatro Urbano commemorates the death of Ruben Salazar with performances
Re-Creating a Tragedy : Theater: Teatro Urbano commemorates the death of Ruben Salazar with performances of 'The Silver Dollar' at the East L.A. bar where the newsman was killed.

"The Silver Dollar," written and directed by Teatro Urbano's Rene Rodriguez, is a one-act in four scenes that offers a fictitious account of events inside the bar just before Salazar was killed. What had brought the 42-year-old journalist to the place 45 years ago was the breakout of rioting. Twenty thousand Chicanos were walking from Belvedere Park to Laguna Park (renamed Salazar Park since then) to protest the Vietnam War. This National Chicano Moratorium March followed a route up Whittier when tensions reached a peak triggering violence.
