Through lowriding, young Latinos expressed cultural pride and claimed their public space, which became threatened by police harassment when anti-cruising laws changed the community. Why I Ride: Low and Slow takes you on a cruise with the Mission District's original lowriders who tell their story of organized resistance to Sf City Hall for the right to public space, which inspired the founding of a lowrider park and a new generation of community activists.
