Reynaldo Berrios, author of Cholo Style, to visit CCHS.



The Classic era of Cholo style and lowrider culture, as seen through the artwork, interviews and true stories created by homies and homegirls themselves, compiled from the seminal street 'zine Mi Vida Loca

Author Reynado Berrios is a reformed gangbanger who raises two sons and calls San Francisco home. Rey was nearly killed in vicious knife-fights, and produced Mi Vida Loca at great personal risk for over a decade, ultimately turning against counterproductive gang violence and advocating La Raza resistance to gavacho power.

Rey is scheduled to visit CCHS February 10th. Students will begin reading and discussing his book January 12th.
