With spoken word and music, writer and performer Rubén Martínez, joined by playwright and activist Raquel Gutiérrez
and singer-songwriter Joe Garcia, will present the deep roots of radical Los Angeles through the story of the legendary
anarchist figure Ricardo Flores Magón, who spent more than a decade here just before and during the Mexican
Revolution. Nearly a hundred years before Occupy L.A.’s Solidarity Park, Flores Magón and his cohort founded a
commune in Edendale with equitable gender roles and an attempt at sustainable living. For enacting his radical
principles, Flores Magón was jailed and ultimately died in federal prison, but his influence lived on across the decades in
bohemian cafes and in the living rooms of activists from Echo Park to Watts.
