East Los Angeles Walkouts (1 März 1968 Jahr – 1 März 1968 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The East Los Angeles Walkouts represented a call to action for civil rights and access to education for Latino youth in the city. Even with the rejection from the Board of Education, the event remains one of the largest student protests in United States history. In bringing together so many organizing groups, the demonstrations also highlighted an ability to mobilize across age and class lines. The walkouts also represented a strong group commitment to the Chicano identity, which continued to develop afterwards.
