Abstract: CASA-HGT, (Centro de Accion Social Autonoma-Hermandad
General de Trabajadores), was a Marxist-Leninist organization during the crucial
civil rights period of 1965-1975 and it was led by Rudy Lozano, a Latino
activist based in Chicago. He was instrumental in building the Black-Latino
coalition and became a leading force behind the election of Harold Washington as
mayor of Chicago in 1983. Washington won the election and became Chicago's first
African American mayor and the most progressive mayor in the city's history.
Rudy, a short time before, fell just seven votes short of entering a runoff
election for a seat on the Chicago City Council. Had he won, he would have been
the first Mexican American alderman and one of the few not controlled by machine
patronage politics.
Lozano was assassinated in 1983 and the forces behind his death have never been
conclusively identified.
