and THE FIRST WORLD FESTIVAL OF NEGRO ARTS (1972)
Directed by William Greaves
39 minutes
"The film appeals, beginning with the term la raza , or 'the people,' in its title, to the spirit of the radical movements that had emerged in Mexican-American and Puerto Rican communities during the late 1960s... Shot in 16mm on the streets of Los Angeles, New York, and Albuquerque, Voice of La Raza focuses on everyday people, with significant portions devoted to sequences of Quinn engaged in conversation with young people on the street. In heavily accented English, street slang, or with traces of regional accents, these men (and one young woman), shown in close-up, recount their experiences of being discriminated against by employers or educators." – Laura Isabel Serna, William Greaves, Filmmaking as Mission (Columbia University Press, 2021)
