Biographical/Historical note
José Montoya is one of the premiere cultural activists in the Chicano movement. He was Born in New Mexico in 1932, but grew
up in central California. He witnessed the struggle for migrant farm workers rights first hand. His involvement with organized
labor, and collaboration with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers movement, was the begining of his lifelong commitment
to artistic inquiry and an unwavering dedication to artistic activism. Montoya co-founded one of the ground-breaking Chicano
Artist Collectives in 1970. This group came to be known as the Royal Chicano Air Force. The RCAF set the standard for using
art as a tool for Chicano historical exposition, advocacy and the education of young people.
Besides being a multifaceted artist, Montoya is the author of three collections of poetry, including the highly acclaimed
In Formation: 20 Years of Joda. He is featured in over 40 anthologies. Montoya exhibited internationally in Cuba, Mexico and Paris, as well as all over
the United States. He is most famous for his work as a poet, and has given readings at top universities around the United
States and abroad. Montoya's influence on poetry is seen in the next gereration of poets. His use of Spanish, English and
barrio slang poetry is reflected in the styles of the countless Chicano writers and poets who follow him.
Soon after the Korean War, Montoya entered San Diego City College as an art student. He later transferred to the California
College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland California where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1962. He began his career by
teaching high school until he earned his M.A. in 1971, at California State University, Sacramento. He then taught for 25 years
in the Department of Art Education at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS).
Montoya is also known as a founding member of the musical group, Trio Casindio, and for his involvement in the 1974 program
called Art in the Barrios. As part of the program, he worked with young and old to create art in the form of posters and murals.
Scope Note
The José Montoya Papers are rich in manuscript and poetry drafts, and other writings. The collection is currently housed in
39 boxes but will grow over time. Additional series may be created as more materials are added to the collection. His personal
Writings, include the sub-series College Papers, a collection of Montoya’s college and high school papers, arranged chronologically
whenever possible. The second group of writings is the Poetry section, arranged by date and title. There are multiple drafts
of many of the poems. The third sub series Speeches, statements and position papers includes several important pieces from
Montoya’s professional life. The fourth sub series Publications is arranged chronologically and provides multiple examples
of Montoya’s work through the period of 1972 through 1985. Many more examples of his published work can be found in the Davidson
Libraries Ethnic and Gender Studies Library. Some of which help to describe his feelings and attitudes about art and the cultural
movement. The fifth sub series Includes drafts of Montoya’s book “In Formation: 20 years of Joda”. There are multiple drafts
of many of the poems. Published by Chusma House and subsequently by Bilingual Review/Press
An important part of the Writings section is Montoya’s miscellaneous writings and free writes. Many of the pages included
are simply thoughts on various issues or free form creative exercises, allowing us insight into his methodology and in some
cases his outlook on the Chicano Movement, art, and his place in both. Other pieces included in the miscellaneous section
are drafts of poems and notes by Montoya otherwise not related to poems or writings found elsewhere in the collection.
Slides, photographs and digital images of Montoya's work are in Series IV and V. There are historical photos of the Chicano
Movement in the Photography section and the slides include much of Montoya's art work as well as Royal Chicano Air Force activites.

“Barrio Art for Ethnic Groups is the name of the course in the CSUS [California State University Sacramento] catalogue. In
1970 the initial “seed money” to purchase art supplies for the classes in the Barrio came from Teichart Construction Company.
The Teichart family is well known in the Sacramento area for supporting community programs. They embraced Montoya’s vision
of the program and donated $800.00 for art material for him to get started area. As a newly hired staff member Montoya was
not aware of CSUS funding sources. But in due time after the initial donation he applied to ASI (Associated Student, Inc.)
and eventually turned to IRA (Instructionally Related Material) for funding and it still continues to fund the Barrio Art
Program.”, Photographer: Barrio Art Student
