Thank you @herdzmedia May 16, 2023 the zoot suit ban was Denounced! That means it’s no longer illegal to wear a zoot suit. June 9, 2023 City Los Ángeles issued a formal apology for the zoot suit ban made June 9, 1943 the discrimination and the resolution was issued by recognizing June 3-9th to be Zoot Suit Heritage Week. Be part of the change and recognize the importance of community, loving and respecting one an other 💙✨✊🏽🏙️

I love it!! Thank you for covering this important movement of unity, peace and heritage within the Mexican, Chicano & Latino community. Pachuquismo is alive and well 80 years later in honor of our family members, Latinos who went to war and all the lives lost then AND those who continue to die for Mexican equality! ¡ORRA! #larazaunidajamasseravencida #razaunida #pachucos #cultura

I wish that era would come back, beautiful cars, beautiful ladies, cool gentlemen. classically elegant dresses.

Just a correction to what the gentleman said at about the 5:25 section of the video. The Mexicans popularized the zoot suits in Cali, but the suits were first introduced to the country by Blacks in Harlem. The style quickly spread to the west coast, being adopted and popularized by the Mexicans there. The style was also adopted by some other groups that were marginalized back then (Filipinos, small number of Japanese, etc.)

Y como siempre México. En todo. Saludos hermanos. Dios los bendiga.

Zootsuit lives on. La Raza Unida lives on. Respect is in our culture. I am going to the fullerton Zootsiut store. Thank you for the information.

Its very interesting how society glorifies Zoot Suits today. In the early 1940s, the United States government mandated a ration for the War effort. The categories of rationed foods during the War were sugar, coffee, processed foods (canned, frozen, etc.), meats and canned fish, and cheese, canned milk, and fats. Furthermore, shortly after Pearl Harbor, there was a heavy burden on US supplies of basic materials like metal, rubber, paper, shoes, and ESPECIALLY garments . Minimal used clothing was mandatory throughout the United States, but some Mexicans decided to defy the rules set forth, wear excessive clothing , and because they didn't enlist in the Services, it pissed Americans off ! Today we look at these people as some sort of Heroes . The men that fought in the War were the TRUE HEROES !

1. They need to make a series on this, if they haven't yet. 2. I find it appalling that too many Mexicans and other Latino-Americans of a "unfavorable" look or background that while hatred (call it bigotry, racist, etc) still exists towards them, they still ignore the easy ways they can give themselves more respect and even feared, not a physical fear but a fear to be left alone or even supported. It starts in POP CULTURE. It starts with Mexican/Etc-Americans, in music, TV and movies. It is very easy to help yourselves out. It is from the US that the overwhelming majority of world trends are started, it is from here that all the good and bad trends spread from. You can be a doctor, technician, actor, etc., but that will only give you such respect in Your social circles not elsewhere. START supporting Selena Gomez and her projects no matter what, listen to older stuff by Linda Ronstadt and Carlos Santana, watch TV shows and movies with such Latinos in them. When or if these names become big, the racist masses, who come from ALL races, will come to an understanding that you are bonding, that you are unified in this goal, a goal to be given respect. You think Michael Pena is a big star? My friends, NO, he is of obvious Mexican background (his looks) and for that he is no Iron Man, Super Man, Batman nor even Robin. The same goes for female actresses. Selena Gomez Should have had many huge top ten hits and a handful of Big number one hits but didn't, and the hate towards her is obvious in pop culture: because she is Mexican (it IS what they see). Look into why Rita Hayworth, Richie Valens, Anthony Pettis, Bruno Mars changed their names for the stage, why Allison Iraheta didn't have any success after having been heavily promoted with such catchy music, why Anthony Quinn decided to use his Irish/White name and not his Spanish name... 3. Obey the law, guys. Things are getting out of hand, many have become intolerant towards law and order. Peace.
