The Life and Times of Richard Castro: Bridging a Cultural Divide
by Richard Gould


©2007CHS

Hispanic leader Richard Castro wasn’t above a good street fight. Denver police beat him bloody during a 1960s confrontation, and political rivals later shot him and bombed his home. But he emerged from the early struggles of Denver’s Hispanic movement—el Movimiento—to become one of Colorado’s most important political figures. During his ten years as a state representative and, later, as a key ally of Denver mayor Federico Peña, Castro personified the Hispanic community’s newfound political power.

The Life and Times of Richard Castro—a 300-page biography by Richard Gould—traces Castro’s path and chronicles a community’s coming of age.
