Hispanic people are people who descended from Spanish speaking populations. Latino, Latina, Or Latinx just refers to someone who is of Latin descent alone. 

Back in the day, a lot of Latino and Hispanic people weren't as seen as they are today. The races completely focused on were White and Black, so important history that many know nothing about has flown under the radar. 

Latinx was made and used to include people under the transgender and nonbinary umbrella to help them feel included and progress the Latin community.

According to the video, 'The Difference between Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx',  "Latinx is made to ask questions, its made to stop people, to shock them. To include people who may not identify with Latino or Latina. To be all inclusive."]]> 2023-09-15 17:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706212365 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706216814 In 1962, Huerta and famous civil rights activist César Chavez started the National Farm Workers Association. It is now called the United Farm Workers. They orchestrated large labor actions, including a massive strike. “The farmworkers couldn’t win by themselves,” Huerta said recently. “They had to reach out to the American public, and all of the 17 million Americans that decided not to eat grapes or lettuce and Gallo wine. And that’s the way that we won.” ]]> 2023-09-15 17:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706216814 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706218028 The article "civil Rights Icon Heurta has advice for a new generation of activists" describes Dolores Heurta a famous activist known for helping farmers lives and the way she has helped Mexican Americans since the 1950s. The article also goes in depth about how future activists can enact change in the world from Dolores Heurtas experience. ]]> 2023-09-15 17:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706218028 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706219003  In the difference between Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx video I learned that Lantinx is a word made to be gender-neutral.
The video also talks about how that Latino was made because when people were asked what they identify as there were only African American and Caucasian. Also a lot of people dont agree with the chnage to Lantinx.]]> 2023-09-15 17:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706219003 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706223662 Something I learned is that many Latinos didn't like the term Hispanic because it was a name that you would call people from Spanish speaking countries. They wanted a term that moved away from Spain's colonization so they created the term Latino or Latina. Since those terms included specific genders, non-binary people wanted a word that could describe them too. From that, the word Latinx was born to include all people from Latin America regardless of gender.]]> 2023-09-15 17:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706223662 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706223984 Latinx is from Latino and Latina in an effort to be more inclusive to any gender individuals. Hispanic refers to individuals who are Spanish-speaking or have a background in a Spanish-speaking country and are Christian. Latino refers to those who are from or have a background in a Latin American country. Latinx is a gender neutral word. Latina are to more describe for Mexican women and Latino is a word more to describe male Mexicans.]]> 2023-09-15 17:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706223984 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706228302 I learned Latinx was made to be used as a gender-neutral word unlike Latino or Latina. But some want to use Latine instead of Latinx because it is harder to pronounce x in Spanish. It is argued on if Latine is used to push gender politics in south American countries as well as create Trans-national solidarity movements.

This is so people that fit under that umbrella can feel included. The term Latinx stems from the terms Latino and Latina which is a way to refer to people from Spanish speaking countries.]]> 2023-09-15 17:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706228491 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706230772 Hispanic refers to someone who has a historic or cultural connection to Spain and is Christian. Latino/Latina refers to someone who identifies as a male or female and that has a background in a Latin American community. Latinx refers to someone who does not identify as a male or female and is gender neutral who is also in the Latin community and since it can be difficult to say in Spanish, many also refer to the term as Latine. I had never truly known that there were this many ways to describe someone. ]]> 2023-09-15 17:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706230772 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706231706 Latino refers to males or big groups of Hispanics. 
Latina refers to females . Latinx refers to non binary people but it could also refer to big groups of people. Latine could also refers to non binary people or big groups. I'm Latina and I personally think that Latinx and Latine are stupid because its changing the history of being Hispanic. I think that we should just stick to Latina and Latino, it makes it a lot less confusing for non Spanish speakers. I do want to be inclusive but I think I don't think that Latinx or Latine makes sense. cade thinks its confusing because he's not a fluent Spanish speaker, he also thinks we should keep it and just Latino and Latina ]]> 2023-09-15 17:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706231706 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706231952 I learned Huerta fights for Civil Rights, and during the 50s-60s she helped start the United Farm Workers Union.

She helped found the “United Farm Workers” union. She thought it was an injustice to see how immigrant workers offered hard work and in exchange received the minimum wage and zero respect. She organized strikes, boycotts and worked alongside Cesar Chavez. Something I would like to add about Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta is that Cesar Chavez was much more recognized than Dolores Huerta, he stole the credit of a famous quote that Huerta said and took it as his own and even to this day many people think that “yes, we can” or “si, se puede” was said by him. ]]> 2023-09-15 17:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706233600 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706234121 Latinx is from Latino and Latina in an effort to be more inclusive to any gender individual. a Spanish-speaking person living in the US, especially one of Latin American or have a background in Spanish-speaking country and are Christian. and also Latina are to more describe for Mexican woman and Latino is a word more to describe male Mexicans]]> 2023-09-15 17:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706234121 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706236314 I learned how Dolores influenced the American public to boycott the grapes, lettuce, and wine.

Her hero's were the Puerto Rican women in her family. How they were powerful and amazing to her, ho they inspired her to be as powerful as they were.

Many communities didn’t think of themselves as European or Spanish., so Latino was used. Latino was used in a way to show that they are connected to each other by the history of being colonized and not by the connection to Spain. Latinx was created to be gender neutral because Latino/Latina are not gender neutral. Some people also use a e at the end to make words gender neutral. There isn't one correct word to use, and everyone has different preferences. ]]> 2023-09-15 17:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706252038 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2706290103 Íngrid Betancourt: What six years in captivity taught me about fear and faith
Ingrid Betancourt, a former Columbian senator and anti-corruption activist was kidnapped on February 23, 2002 by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia.

And that was by fighting on behalf of those who couldn't for themselves. 

Huerta helped create the United Farm Workers union during the civil rights era of the '50s and '60s to fight for the rights of farm workers, alongside civil rights activist Cesar Chavez. The immigrant workers had been worked so long under poor conditions, to pesticide exposure and terrible hand injuries for little pay, and even less respect. It was horrible times.

Huerta seen this and took initiative fighting for not just community betterment programs, and protective laws to creating a better life for Mexican-Americans, but also coordinated a nationwide consumer boycott of California grapes, lettuce and Gallo wines on behalf of UFW, because the workers of the companies weren't being treated well. 

Huerta's done so much more for other underrepresented groups like collective actions such as strikes, social injustice initiatives and community organizing. She had even been apart of achieving California's landmark 1975 Agricultural Labor Relations Act, together with Cesar Chavez, which allowed farm workers to form unions and bargain for better wages and conditions. And all through non-violent actions! 

She is a huge role model to all those seeking thoughtful change and teaching others violence and rage in your actions is not ever the answer. Instead channel it into actions and words the opposite of that and truly want to make an impact out of kindness and bravery for all. 

This is personally what reading about her has taught me and I hope more stories of other colored people with different backgrounds is taught more throughout school and the world. I didn't even know who this lady was up until now.]]> 2023-09-17 19:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/zmpglv580932sar/wish/2707642451
