Bill Ramos, Chicano holy man and mentor to the youth of East San Jose and Aztlan
Bill “El Mosco” Ramos, whose spirituality has given him the wisdom and knowledge of his Native American and Chicano ancestry to serve the needs of San Jose’s Chicano youth during the turbulent 60’s through today from his spiritual compound in Ripon Calif, just outside of Modesto.
Driving his yellow school bus, The Mosquitos East Side Action Club transported at-risk youth on field trips and outings while building their self-esteem through long-distance running events.
His work with Dennis Banks, the Lakota activist and leader of AIM, The American Indian Movement, resulted in Bill becoming the leader of the annual 500 mile spiritual run, beginning in 1980 to this day.
Bill is what the Lakota call a wichasa wakan or holy man who continues his spiritual quest by serving the needs of at-risk youth from his headquarters in Ripon.
