Hispanic Activism in 1960’s Living as a Hispanic individual during the 1950’s and 1960’s proved to be difficult. This struggle was widely seen in the rural Hispanics schools. Many students in schools of east LA lived this while many not knowing it. Just going to school‚ not being allowed to speak Spanish‚ and many of whom live with low expectations from their intellectual peers better known as teachers.

In fact‚ the original movement began in the 19th century over a cup of tea with Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Eisenberg & Ruthsdotter‚ n.d.). Stanton was dissatisfied with the state of women’s affairs and that they were being treated as second class citizens‚ especially since the American Revolution had just been fought not 70 years earlier (Eisenberg & Ruthsdotter‚ n.d.)
