Show Notes
The U.S. Postal Service released a new commemorative set of
stamps honoring lowrider culture on Friday.
The stamps, which highlight five classic lowrider cars, are the latest recognition for lowriding as an important form of expression in Mexican-American communities across the Southwest.
Lowriding also faced bans in many communities, including a ban in National City until it was repealed in 2023.
On Midday Edition Tuesday, we hear more about the rich history of lowriding and what it has meant for Chicano culture in San Diego through the years.
