Core Title Festival de Flor y Canto de Aztlan, 1973 & 2010 
Collection description Organized by El Centro Chicano, the first Festival de Flor y Canto (Festival of flower and song), a three day literary festival that brought together dozens of Chicano novelists, poets, and short story writers on November 16-18, 1973 (Town and Gown at the University of Southern California), inspired subsequent events including the 2nd festival in Austin, Texas (Festival Floricanto II), the 3rd in San Antonio, Texas, the 4th in Albuquerque, New Mexico (Flor y Canto IV, 1977), and the 5th in Tempe, Arizona (Flor y Canto V, 1978). Three additional events under the name "Canto al Pueblo" took place later in Wisconsin, south Texas and Colorado.

Most of the 1973 readings were captured on video, and Michael Sedano digitized and donated the 39 DVDs to the Boeckmann Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies in Doheny Library, University of Southern California. Michael V. Sedano is a USC alumnus and, in 1973, he was a student photographer for the Daily Trojan who photographed the event. Nearly 150 photographs are included in this collection.
