Sal Castro saw injustice in the classroom and refused to stay silent. As a Mexican American teacher in 1960s Los Angeles, he watched bright students pushed toward failure—discouraged from college, ignored in history books, and punished for speaking Spanish.

What made one teacher risk everything for his students? And how did a walkout become a movement? Step into the story of Sal Castro—where courage meets revolution.
