Chicano Movement by Briana Ghan https://padlet.com/brianaghan2/q7qmijs5227n en-us 2017-03-28 18:54:27 UTC 2017-04-06 21:01:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Brightnessdown.png United Farm Workers https://padlet.com/brianaghan2/q7qmijs5227n/wish/164747715 The United Farm Workers is a group of farm workers that started protesting because they weren’t getting paid what they deserved so the farm workers went out demanding for a higher wages. The United Farm Workers boycotted the grapes in Delano, California to get the attention of Ceasar Chavez who is the leader of the UFW. The Grape Boycott ended in failure and soon after Chavez organized a march to California's state capitol to inspire farm workers to join the United Farm Workers Union. At first this organization was made up of mostly Mexicans, but later on white and black people became apart of this organization. The symbol that the United Farm Workers created is know as “The Huelga Bird,” huelga means strike. 
This movement connects to something today, which took place in September 26, 2016. On September 26, 2016 in Hempstead, New york; fast food workers were protesting for higher wages, thousands of protesters were demanding for 15 dollars an hour for minimum wage.

The Chicano moratorium March was to avoid many Chicanos from being drafted to the war. Many of them don’t want to go because all of the ones that go either come back physically or emotionally wounded, but most of the time many of them do not return at all. 
The Moratorium was the high point of the movement, but at the same time the lowest. There was thousands of Mexican-American marching through the streets of Los Angeles. This happened on August 29,1970, all of these people wanted to be heard. So they as well took many posters and signs screaming and yelling throughout the streets. Many of these Mexican-Americans look like they are marching together in groups of families. Mostly have the same color clothes as a way to support this movement. The people in this photo are doing the right thing in reaction to the Vietnam War. 
The Chicano Moratorium March connects to today’s world by many people around the U.S protesting of their rights as a reaction that Trump is elected as our new president because they feel that Trump will force and deport millions of undocumented Mexicans.

The Brown Berets emerged in the late 1960s, the organization fought against inequality in schools and they wanted to bring awareness to the plight of the Mexican Americans. On March 1, 1968, the Brown Berets planned and participated in a Student Walk Out in East LA. The Student Walk Out was a walkout in East Los Angeles by high school Chicano students which protested academic prejudice and dire school conditions. The students decided to take a stand against the injustice and staged walkouts in schools across L.A. The Brown Berets today have become more of a peaceful organization and they still fight for Chicano right’s. They are now fighting the deportation of Chicanos back to Mexico, and much of what they do is now on their sites. They still do the Marches around certain towns and cities, and they also lead protests and organize events to spread the message for Chicano’s empowerment.

This bill was limited to Spanish-speaking students and was enacted in 1968. This act  provided financial assistance for innovative bilingual programs, also funding would be provided for the development of such programs and for implementation, staffing and staff training, and long-term maintenance  In this picture it shows a woman taking part in the the People’s Takeover of the Board of Education.This woman was Evelina Lopez Antonetty. She was a civil rights activist that helped mainly Puerto Rican children with school environments and their education. Antonetty started the United Bronx parents in South Bronx, New York which helped  children in every way possible, even bilingual classes. When looking at this picture, I feel like she is a leader because she is the only one that i see arguing with the people about the bilingual education act.The Bilingual Education Act connects to today  because we vote if there should just be English only teaching or have a second language as an option instead of English.
