December 23, 1991 | RICHARD STAYTON, SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Luis Valdez would rather not talk about his past. But at age 51, Valdez has earned the right to rest and look back on his achievements. After all, he founded El Teatro Campesino, the farm worker's radical theater company, during the 1965 Delano grape strike, and that theatrical troupe continues to thrive under his guidance in San Juan Bautista. His 1978 musical, "Zoot Suit," has become a Mexican-American classic, an icon of the emerging Latino spirit.
