Our Chicano Hero: RIP: Profe. Armando Vasquez Ramos

Our Chicano Hero: RIP: Profe. Armando Vasquez Ramos

On August 4th, 2024, we lost a remarkable community leader, Profe. Armando Vasquez Ramos. In his honor, I wanted to recast the podcast we recently recorded. I reconnected with Armando through John A. Taboada’s photo exhibit at the Historical Society Center of Long Beach, which showcased the community work of El Centro de la Raza.
Armando’s podcast interview holds a special place in my heart. I first met him when I was fourteen, when he was the Director of El Centro de la Raza. I worked as a student worker at El Centro from fourteen until I was twenty-one, receiving training and mentorship in youth development and community organizing. I was one of over 400 youth who worked at the Centro every summer, providing us with employment, education, community service, and keeping us out of harm’s way.
Armando and the many other Chicana/o workers at the Centro became my second family, guiding me through college and giving me the skills and community experiences that helped me succeed in my many jobs and careers.
Listen closely to Armando’s final words and advice, you will undoubtedly find inspiration and commitment to keep fighting for justice and peace.
Donate to his gofundme.com fund: Honor Profe. Armando Vazquez-Ramos Legacy.
Rest in Peace, Armando.
