For more than five decades, Jesús Garza has exhibited and lectured about his photographs. While a student at San José High, Garza started his photographic archive. Today, Garza continues to explore various communities and genres via photography and video. 
Garza's photographic collection includes more than 1,000 Kodachrome slides and black-and-white negatives of the 1974 El Quinto Festival de los Teatros Chicanos. About 300 duplicate slides are available for review at the San José State University Martin Luther King Jr. Library. Also available for inspection at SJSU are Garza's photographs documenting the 1971 Chicano March for Education.

The collection consists of 36 8x8-inch professionally framed and printed black-and-white photographs. The pictures have been shown all over the country, and more recently in Mexico and France.
