About El Popo Newspaper Online
For comments on the article send email to:
The El Popo Newspaper was first published in 1970 by students concerned about the lack of a Chicana and Chicano perspective in newspapers. As a result, students called the newspaper, El Popo. The paper was named El Popo after the volcano El Popocatepetl. Involved in Chicana/o Movement of the 60’s and 70’s, students saw a connection between the smoke spewing volcano ready to erupt and the student movement ready to engage. Thus, throughout the El Popo’s thirty-five years, the name continues to symbolize and to represent the spirit of each generation of students that contribute to the pages of the El Popo Newspaper.
