The collection consists of photographs taken by Michael Sedano at the first Festival de Flor y Canto (Festival of Flower and Song), an event held in 1973 at the University of Southern California that featured prominent and emerging Mexican American writers and artists speaking on their personal experiences and issues related to the Chicano Movement.

This collection includes photos, DVDs, a floppy disk, notes, course materials, correspondence, conference materials, writings, and legal documents. The materials in this collection relate to the personal life and professional interests of Eliud Martinez, Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Riverside.
