The La Raza Athletic Association started in 1971 when Chicano youth found an old gym and started playing basketball. Those small pickup games blossomed into an organization that at its height had 42 teams across 4 divisions. Stevan Alvarado and Robert Moncado were there from the start and discuss the early days of the LRAA. Ed Robles was a 9th grader in 1972 and played in some of the first games of the league. Hosted by Augie Arteaga, this episode presents some of the history of the LRAA.
