Raul Ramiro Villarreal Papers
Raul Ramiro Villarreal was a political activist in South Texas during the height of the Chicano movement, 1969-1979. He became involved in Chicano activities at Del Mar College, Corpus Christi, Kleberg County, Brooks County and Jim Wells County. Over the years, he evolved from militancy to a feeling that one needed to work for La Raza through whatever avenue was available. His writings and oral history reflect these sentiments.
