The word Chicano was a racial slur until the Latinos adopted it as a term to be proud of. Some civil rights they fought for was better pay, better work schedule, and more rights.

His poem introduces the deeper side to Chicano emotions and allows the reader to feel and understand the Chicano state the same way they did. His poem can still be read today, and shows the softer, more yearning side of how chicanos felt in the 1900s.]]> 2021-01-29 17:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1141723186 airesendiz100_4 https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142767632 This film is based off the story of a Chicano woman who created a pathway for civil rights towards Latinas and Latinos. She not only fought for Latino rights, but as well as gender neutrality, because she felt that, as a woman, she was not getting the rights nor representation she deserved. This film covers a major important movement that helped bring Latinos one step closer to justice. ]]> 2021-01-29 23:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142767632 airesendiz100_4 https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142773061 Mexican muralism is a type of art form that was widely used to express stories, feelings, colors, etc. Some popular muralists included Diego Rivera, Clemente Orozoco, and David Siquieros (The Big Three). It was a popular art form that started around the early 1900s and were mostly used to express political opinions after the Mexican revolution.]]> 2021-01-29 23:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142773061 airesendiz100_4 https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142798027 "The Day of the Dead' is a national Mexican holiday that celebrates the lives of family members, saints, and other people who lived a well lived life. It's a day filled with sugar skulls, banners, beautiful flowers and celebrations like dancing, singing, drawing, and talking with family. Tables known as ofrendas are set up to honor those who died by being decorated with their pictures, their favorite items from life, and memories they created to be shared with newer generations.]]> 2021-01-29 23:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142798027 airesendiz100_4 https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142803475 The play "Zoot Suit", written by Luis Valdez, follows the true story of a man named Henry Reyna and his journey to justice during the sleepy lagoon trials. Henry Reyna was a man apart of a "Pachuco" Gang in which they loved wearing large fancy suits known as Zoot Suits. This play follows his journey from being falsely accused of violence all the way to his innocence being proven. It also portrays dark topics such as racial discrimination, depression, and violence that was once experienced during these harsh times.]]> 2021-01-30 00:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142803475 airesendiz100_4 https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142872013 During this topic session, we learned a lot about how POC feel about america through poems, stories, media and Donald "Childish Gambino" Glover's popular song, This is America. Most POC have been known to express how unsafe they feel in america, and how they don't believe the government is trying their hardest to protect them. Recent events from last year to this year also prove their fears. Hopefully america can learn to do better.]]> 2021-01-30 01:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142872013 airesendiz100_4 https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142876727 The Migrant Caravan refers to an article that talks about the horrible situation Honduras, El Salvador, and other places are in. People are being forced to migrate to the US for better options, only to be turned away or forced into horrible camps. A lot of people who enter the US become drug lords or drug dealers, as they feel they can't be anything else. America is dealing with this situation rather terribly, and I hope we can find a better alternative soon.]]> 2021-01-30 01:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142876727 airesendiz100_4 https://padlet.com/airesendiz100_4/1fck305iihwlsowz/wish/1142880594 This class was honestly one of my favorite classes this year. I was really intrigued by all the Latino history that went on in america, as I wasn't aware of it before. I also really liked the spectrum of subjects we learned. We learned about the beautiful parts as well as the uglier ones. I also liked how interacting this class was. 

I hope that we can learn more about Mexican artwork next semester, as I love artwork from mexico. I would also like to spend time on literature and popular poems. Maybe we can research more about important governors from Latino culture.
