The Inspired Movements were movements dedicated to helping and changing the way we as a society think and view. Through marches and boycotts, people were finding their voices to speak up for what they believe is right throughout decades.

The Latino Rights Movement was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. They saw how African Americans were fighting for equal rights and wanted to do the same. Everyone in the community such as teachers, students, workers, artists, and journalism all joined together to achieve social justice, equal wages, fair housing, and bilingual education. To have their voices heard they protested and marched down streets. Some of the most well known protests are the The National Chicano Moratorium March in Los Angeles, California and the East LA walkouts in 1968. They also decided to boycott the selling of grapes until the price wage went up. Cesar Chavez was one of the most successful leaders and advocate for Latino Rights. He helped create better wages, working conditions, and medical coverage's. When asked about how he did this he said, " The desire to win was most important, and with that desire, we were willing to stay out and pay the price to win." With multiple other groups fighting for the same outcome, Cesar Chavez never gave up, continuing to fight for what he believed to be right. Gaining more people to protest because he was confident that, with enough willpower, Latinos would succeed. In the long run The Latino Rights Movement was a success with the created organizations such as National Council of La Raza and League of United Latin American Citizens.

The American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They protested racism, sovereignty, and Civil rights violations against Native Americans. Some of the most popular are the protests at the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and the longest march from Alcatraz to Washington D.C. With the government controlling native land, people were forced to leave reservations and move to cities. There they faced racial profiling by police and lack of education. Taking inspiration from the Civil Rights Movement the original point of AIM was to bring awareness to the racism faced in the cities. Becoming known in the area AIM was able to grow their membership. A founding member of AIM, Vernon Bellecourt states in an interview that their goal was not only to bring attention and media coverage nationally but also internationally. Growing rapidly and leaving a lasting impact AIM was able to achieve several accomplishments that are still helpful today such as being able to have congress pass the Indian self determination and education assistance act of 1975. And becoming the primary sponsor of Little Earth United Tribes. The American Indian Movement was also able to achieve creating housing programs, aid centers, and the American Indian Opportunities and Industrialization Center.

The Women's Suffrage was a movement that lasted decades. Women believed they were equal to men and deserved the right to vote and the responsibilities of citizenship. They marched, wrote books, lectured, and practiced Civil disobedience. Famous protests include the Silent Sentinel, the march along Pennsylvania Avenue, and the Seneca Falls Convention. Started by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott in 1848, 300 people attended the Seneca Falls Convention, all wanting to be treated as their own and not reliant on men. The second day the women signed the Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances. Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote, "men and women should be created equal and have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The Women's Suffrage Movement was able to achieve their rights to vote, own property, education for women, and the list goes on. This Movement changed history forever by uniting women all over the nation to achieve a change that benefited them and all the generations of women and little girls to come.

Civil Rights Movement (Mid 1950s)

The Civil Rights Movement was the fight to give Black Americans equal rights, end segregation, overturn voting laws, and give all American people the same education and jobs. Many tactics were used in this movement such as boycotts, marches, and sit-ins. We can see these topics being used with The Little Rock Nine, The March on Washington, Rosa Parks, the Freedom Riders, and the Greensboro Sit-in. After the Civil War the Reconstruction movement gave citizenship to every person born in the United States and gave African Americans the right to vote but even with these there was still discrimination, especially in the South. What sparked the Civil Rights Movement was Rosa Parks getting arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white man, causing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In a paper from Rosa Parks she states, "I have been pushed around and felt at this moment that I couldn't take it anymore.." The outrage over white supremacy resulted in an uproar of many other protests in the South.
