Newsela Article brownha2 https://padlet.com/brownha2/lg6r9m6kj7opolig/wish/867741718 A year after the walkouts, UCLA’s enrollment of Mexican-Americans soared from 100 to 1,900. Over the decades, college enrollment increased from 2 percent to 25 percent nationwide. Chicano studies programs were founded at colleges and universities across the nation. More Mexican-Americans also entered the ranks of vice principals and principals in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

But perhaps the walkouts’ greatest accomplishment was fostering in the Mexican-American community a sense of possibility. They came to the realization that a just cause sometimes requires speaking up.

We planned and organized for at least a year—remember, this was before social media and computers and all that. We had to build a movement by raising consciousness and awareness with not only our peers, but the community: educating everyone about the conditions of our schools and racist treatment. That entailed lots of meetings [and] free community newspapers we wrote for. We were also guided and mentored by one teacher, Sal Castro, and a cadre of Chicano college students who knew more about this stuff that we did."]]> 2020-10-27 22:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brownha2/lg6r9m6kj7opolig/wish/867750811
