D. LULAC: After The Chicano Movement

LULAC was actually founded before the Chicano Movement in 1929 it is currently the oldest Hispanic rights organization. Schools were segregated during the Chicano movement it was actually legal to segregate students. Many of these schools were given uneducated teachers, no resources, the worst possible way to learn in a school. The schools themselves were in the worst condition possible, funding was distributed to the rich zones never the poor. Another reason for LULAC is the way Mexican Americans were portrayed by society. They were viewed for some reason as lazy people,

    Rogelio Gutierrez is a Mexican-American artist, "who focuses his work on capturing life as a first-generation Mexican-American" (Neumann). Rogelio sees the challenges of Mexican Americans today and capitalizes on the opportunity through his artwork to link, "the gap between the two North American cultures." (Neumann). This is exemplified through Rogelio's piece, "The Invisible Frontier," which mimics a street sign and reads "No Spanish Except Sundays and Holidays" (Neumann). I believe the purpose of such work, is first to bring awareness to the fact that Mexican-American families are mingled among us and are an integral part of the American experience.…

    Shirley Chisholm’s life gives us a perfect understanding of the civil rights movements, of what it had achieved and what it meant then and what it means now. Some people believe that after the Civil rights Act of 1964 was signed, everything in the United States changed; the lives of African Americans, were transformed after that act was sign. In reality, that passing of such act did not mean the end of racism, it only meant one couldn't openly have an opinion of someone based on the color of their skin. Through Chisholm’s life, we can see how inequality transitioned from open racism to a more indirect yet predominant form. For instance, after living in Barbados with her grandmother throughout most of her childhood, she moved to live with her…

    The rhetorical mode of definition would be bold yet effective to use. If the writer had stated something like: Chicano Culture- It is the way we live. It is our "behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols" (https://www.tamu.edu/faculty/choudhury/culture.html). It is not something that needs to be accepted by those who oppose it. It is permanent and forever changing among all groups of people. This would give the reader a quick conclusion of the three excerpts.…

    Their logo was "La union hace la Fuerza". This logo further creates a sense of unity which brought many more Chiacano students together and resulted into higher numbers of Chiacano students on college campuses. While these types of organizations were thriving, Chicanas were still struggling. They suffered sexual within their own community. Chicano men, expected them to serve as a pleasure outlets. If they refused to have sex, they were labeled as lesbians, which was one of the many reasons why they felt forced to have sexual relationship with the men that asked for them.

    Chicana Movement

    • 334 Words
    • 1 Page

    During the late 1960’s many Chicana’s gathered to protest equal rights against the world. To be exact during 1971 Chicanas all over the country came together to speak out about having free rights to their body when it came to abortions, twenty four hour childcare, and most of all sexism and marriage. Chicana women are the most oppressed nationality, workers, and just simply as the women they are. In the Hispanic or Latino culture there is a lot of “machismo” where it is considered that the woman should clean, cook, take care of the children, and be available to their spouse as they please. It doesn’t matter if she works the same hours as he does or if she’s in school full time, she still has to go home and do every chore on the list while the man lays back. It is an everyday struggle for most of these women since sexism is something basically taught and understood by the culture, just the way it works. Chicanas wanted to be seen as equal, not as lower than men, that is why they also fought for equal rights in pay. There’s the big stereotypical issue in Latino culture where the man is the boss of the house and women are basically there to just serve as he pleases and to not have an opinion. This is a big issue still going on today, women are not seen as equal still and even though we have come a long way there is still many chains that have to be broken. Chicana women do not want to feel oppressed anymore but more like liberated in a culture who’s mindset is still very close-minded. As a Hispanic/Latino culture we should not put women behind men, but more to his side to be equal, the old concept of having the woman in the kitchen and ready to bare babies should be a long lost memory in the minds of these men.…

(www.SPLCenter.org) Founded in 1971 by civil rights activist and attorney Morris Dees, SPLC has continued to flourish in its promise to ensure equality and justice for all. The power force behind this leadership is a great team of board members, program staffers and civil right lawyers who fight for the exploited, abused and forgotten. Together they have formed an unbreakable ring and have triumphed continuously, winning lawsuits in defending workers whose rights had been violated and children who were being exploited. In efforts to raise awareness of social inequality and racism and to help encourage others to stand against it, their website offers direct links to a “Hate Map”, in which hate group organizations are located, as well as a “Hate Incident” report that lets viewers read about recent hate crimes in their area. They have gone as far as bankrupting one of the nation’s most notorious hate groups. This is a civil rights movement happening right now and the homepage of their website emphasizes so, with the current events headings flashing by slowly, depicting high scale photos, suggesting to the headlines of current events taking place this second. The Southern Poverty Law Center website provides an easy to navigate interface designed to help involve, educate and raise awareness of discrimination and injustice to civil rights supporters.…
