The main issue that drove the secret discussion — where does Latino political power stands in L.A.? — remains as vital and vexing to the future of Los Angeles as ever.
On a Tuesday morning in the fall of 1998, I waited in line at a polling precinct at Manzanita Park in Anaheim. I was 19, voting for the first time, and motivated by ethnic pride to do so. Four years earlier, Californians had overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, which sought to make life miserable for undocumented immigrants. It spurred my era of Latinos to get involved in local politics and fight for a democracy where people who looked like us would represent “us.
In the tape, De León said the group — commonly referred to as CoCo — was trying to “f—“ him politically. 'It was never meant to be the end goal,' Retana said. 'If we focus on that, we’ll just continue to circle the wagons and not advance anywhere.' Fernando Guerra, director for the Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University, has tracked the rise of Latino political power for decades.
