The BUENO Center for Multicultural Education

The BUENO Center for Multicultural Education Founded in 1976, The BUENO Center promotes equitable education for culturally and linguistically diverse learners, their families, and educators.

Through research, professional learning, & advocacy we advance social justice and strengthen communities. Since 1976, the BUENO Center for Multicultural Education has been an integral part of the School of Education at the University of Colorado Boulder. Through a comprehensive range of research, training, and service projects, the Center strongly promotes quality education with an emphasis on cultural pluralism. The Center is deeply committed to facilitating equal educational opportunities for cultural and language minority students. The Center also disseminates research findings and related information through various Center publications. Funding for some Center programs is provided through grants and contracts from the U.S. Department of Education. BUENO’s policy center focuses on bilingual and multicultural educational issues as they relate to policy and in related fields like sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, language learning, innovative strategies of language teaching, language planning and language assessment that are relevant to the development of language and educational policy.

50 years of BUENO means remembering the people and movements that made change possible.

BUENO's history is rooted in advocacy and in the belief that students and communities deserve access, opportunity, belonging, and a voice in education.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we honor the legacy of Los Seis de Boulder and continue investing in the next generation through the Los Seis Memorial Scholarship. Their legacy reminds us that progress happens because people organize, advocate, open doors, and make sure others can walk through them.

Today, May 27, and again on May 29, we pause to honor and remember Los Seis de Boulder, six Chicano activists and students whose lives were tragically lost in 1974. Their legacy continues to call us toward educational justice, community voice, and collective remembrance. 🖤

We encourage our community to take time to learn, reflect, and remember their stories and the lasting impact of their activism.

We invite you to:

• Browse through the primary sources at the Chicano and Latino History website and use them in your history lessons: https://latinohistoryproject.org/?s=los+seis

• Read and learn from the Freedom Archives: https://freedomarchives.org/projects/los-seis-commemoration/

• Listen to “El Corrido de Los Seis de Boulder” and legacy of Los Seis: https://latinohistoryproject.org/teachers/primarysource/los-seis-de-boulder/

• Watch Symbols of Resistance to commemorate many of the important martyrs of the Chicano Movement: https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/symbols-of-resistance-a-tribute-to-the-martyrs-of-the-chican-movement

• Attend the Los Seis de Boulder and The Symbols of Resistance 52 Year Commemoration on Sunday May 31, 2026 at CU Boulder’s Temporary Building 1 from 11:30-5:00 pm organized by UMAS y Mecha.

May we continue to honor their legacy through community, education, remembrance, and action.
