I came across these wonderful images of Latino San Diego teenagers from 1958-1962. This photo collection was donated by Salvador Torres -leader of the Los Gallos social club. Mind you, this wasn't a 'Jets vs. Sharks' West Side Story kind of gang. He explains the people in the photos as, just groups of young people (with rad custom jackets) who like to kick it and organize community building events.
